New York Medical Aid in Dying Act advocates hopeful for passage this session
Could this be the year that Albany passes the Medical Aid in Dying Act?
Advocates have been pushing the bill for almost 10 years, but they say there are several reasons to be especially hopeful this session: According to a variety of polls, about two-thirds of Americans support the issue. Also, the sponsors of the bill are two powerful lawmakers, the chair of the Assembly Health Committee Amy Paulin and the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee Brad Hoylman-Sigal.
