Year-End Wrap-Up : Health Care, Benefits, Insurance
 

Health-care providers in New York have long blamed the state’s exorbitant costs and their difficulty in making ends meet on HMOs and insurance companies. They claim the health insurance reimbursement rates have been insufficient, undermining their stability.

 
 

State Assemblyman Adam Bradley, D-White Plains, has been a big advocate of health- care insurance reform. That has been a somewhat lonely and frustrating position, until business started getting involved. In the past two years ago, he and other reformers in Albany have finally had success in getting some “meaningful” legislation passed.

 

The state’s largest health insurer has prepared a state health index that shows New York state ranks 27th nationally in overall health care and has one of the highest heart-disease death rates in the nation and the lowest suicide rate.
