November 12, 2009: HANYS President Daniel Sisto energizes the crowd at a health care rally on the steps of the New York State Capitol. Decrying the outrageous health care cuts proposed by Governor Paterson in his latest Deficit Reduction Plan, Mr. Sisto points out that 19 hospitals and 30 nursing homes have closed in New York State over the last 5 years as a result of similar budget actions. Moreover, the calamitous reduction in funding proposed by the Governor will disproportionately impact the health of New York's most vulnerable populations, children and senior citizens, who rely most heavily on Medicaid for essential care.
