July Advocacy Action: Standing Up for Healthcare Access
In July, BCMS organized a walkout and protest in partnership with Code Red for Medicaid to raise awareness about the impact of the “Big Beautiful Bill” on healthcare access in Broome County. The legislation, which has since passed, imposes new administrative burdens on Medicaid and CHIP programs that threaten coverage for eligible patients in our community. Our advocacy efforts received local news coverage, demonstrating the power of our collective voice on issues affecting our patients and practices.
