Our new report found significantly higher charges for common procedures at merged hospitals, including appendectomies, childbirth, and knee replacements.

For decades, NYC has allowed distressed property flipping to fester in communities of color.
Today, @NYCMayor is signing COPA, an important step toward building public capacity to preserve housing affordability with community ownership.
Our statement: cssny.org/news/entry/css-app…
New York has tools to rein in rising hospital prices. Our new report calls for limits on post-merger charges and greater transparency about what patients pay for care.
@timesunion examines the findings and what policymakers can do next.

Our survey found broad backing for COPA across NYC. Intro 905 would give qualified nonprofits a chance to buy buildings when they go up for sale, helping move distressed units away from speculators to preserve affordable housing. The Council must pass it!

The POWER Act would strengthen consumer and worker protections, making it easier for New Yorkers to challenge unfair and abusive business practices.
We joined legislators, advocates, and community organizations in calling on @NYCCouncil to pass it this year.

A CSS analysis found that between 2010 and 2020, West Harlem lost 14% of its Black residents and 10% of its Latine residents. Rising housing costs and Columbia's Manhattanville expansion played a major role.

Between 2019 and 2023, police misconduct cost New Yorkers $427 million in settlements.
@NYCMayor must break with the policing tactics tolerated by past administrations and show it's possible to enforce laws without singling out Black and Hispanic men.

CityFHEPS helps thousands of New Yorkers move out of homelessness, but 1 in 4 recipients report payment interruptions.
Now that funding for the program is secured, the city must focus on ensuring vouchers work for the households that rely on them.

Health care needs ALL of us!
Nearly 20% of health care workers are immigrants. We must protect essential workers by stopping federal cuts to TPS and DACA, halting deportations, and investing in infrastructure.
Protecting health care workers means protecting all New Yorkers!

For years, buildings have fallen into disrepair and been passed among absentee landlords, driving up rents and displacement.
To avoid repeating the same pattern, @NYCCouncil must pass COPA and give vetted buyers the first chance to buy troubled buildings.
