Dear Colleagues,

This is not just another email—it’s a call for your immediate action.

The Grieving Families Act (S4423/A6063), a bill that will wreak havoc on New York’s healthcare system, has LANDED on the Governor’s desk. If signed into law, it could trigger a 40% increase in medical liability premiums—a devastating blow to our already strained healthcare infrastructure.

We cannot overstate the consequences:

  • Fewer physicians: Skyrocketing costs will force many to reconsider practicing in New York.

  • Reduced access to care: Patients will bear the brunt as practices shutter and services dwindle.

  • Escalating healthcare costs: Hospitals and practices will be burdened, and all New Yorkers will ultimately pay the price.

This is about more than just numbers; it’s about the patients we serve and the future of healthcare in our state.

TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION

Call the Governor’s office at 518-474-8390.

  • Press 1 to leave a voicemail or 2 to speak with staff.

  • Say: “I am Dr. [Your Name], and I urgently request the Governor to VETO the Grieving Families Act (S4423/A6063)

Every email matters. Every voice counts.

This is our moment to stand together as the backbone of New York’s healthcare system.

If we fail to act, the damage will be irreversible—crippling practices, limiting patient care, and jeopardizing the health and safety of countless New Yorkers.

This Fight Requires All of Us.

Make your voice heard today. Share this email with your colleagues, staff, friends, and family members. Every call and every message strengthens our resolve.

We must demand a veto—not just for ourselves, but for the future of healthcare in New York.
