AN  ACT  to  amend  the  public health law and the state finance law, in
  relation to enacting the "New York health act" and to establishing New

  Section  1.  Short  title. This act shall be known and may be cited as

of the state are matters of public concern and provision therefor  shall
be made by the state and by such of its subdivisions and in such manner,
and by such means as the legislature shall from time to time determine."
(Article  XVII,  S3.)  The legislature finds and declares that all resi-
dents of the state have the right to health care.    While  the  federal
Affordable  Care Act brought many improvements in health care and health

inadequate  coverage.  New  Yorkers  -  as  individuals,  employers, and
taxpayers - have experienced a rise in  the  cost  of  health  care  and
coverage  in  recent  years,  including rising premiums, deductibles and
