“For-profit health care does not work,” (Jill Furillo, executive director of the New York State Nurses Association) said. “People in the Assembly listened to us, and so did Gov. Andrew Cuomo.”
Mr. Berger scoffed at that idea and said the governor’s office pushed hard for the measure, dropping it only when the chairman of the Assembly’s Health Committee, Richard N. Gottfried, a Democrat from Manhattan, would not budge.
“Nurses, caregivers and patients should be the ones making decisions about patient care — not hedge funds and private equity investors.” – Anne Bové, a registered nurse at Bellevue Hospital and one of the elected leaders of the New York State Nurses Association
