The UK instated the NHS, a form of universal Healthcare, in 1948.
Finland 1972

Germany 1988
The US wasted so much time and energy in the 20th century preventing its citizens from getting universal Healthcare.
Now, we all have to suffer the consequences of that inaction.

In order to help prevent people from going hungry due to the SNAP shutdown, I am seeking legislative approval of a $1 million allocation to @feedmorewny.org to purchase 354,000 pounds of food for local food pantries. 140,000 county residents rely on SNAP. We must help them in their time of need.
