You may not know that New York ranks in the bottom 10 states with its high rate of child poverty. Dr. Mary T. Bassett and I make the case for a different policy choice by the Governor and Legislature. New York should be leading—not lagging—on child poverty. nydailynews.com/2024/09/15/n-y…

"Children in NYS are more likely to live in poverty than children in 40 other states. Yet continuing with the status quo is a choice that our elected leaders make — every day, every budget year, every legislative session." - Dave A. Chokshi, MD & Dr. Mary Bassett newyorkcan.org/former-health-…

In 2024, our Common Health Coalition grew from 5 founding members to ~100 organizations across the U.S. This year, we will build on that momentum through a new Common Health Challenge focused on community health workers—and by pursuing members in all 50 states and tribal nations.

When we talk about Medicaid, we often focus on the numbers: the dollars and cents, statistics and spreadsheets. But as a doctor, I've seen that Medicaid’s story is my patients’ stories. That’s why I’m deeply concerned about the looming cuts to Medicaid. youtube.com/watch?v=egJ7yy…
