The Primary Care Collaborative (PCC) supports the passage of S6534B to establish a primary care reform commission in New York.
Increasing investment in primary care is one of the critical policy levers to ensure the health of all New York residents, especially those communities experiencing health disparities. If passed into law, New York bill S. 6534B would convene a collaborative of expert stakeholders to:
Define primary care for the purposes of measuring spending
Oversee the collection of spending data from all payers across New York State
Publish a report on current primary care spending
Provide recommendations to gradually increase the proportion of health care spending that goes to primary care across all payers in the state
