The inaugural OHA report has confirmed what we’re known all along - healthcare costs are skyrocketing, and hospitals are driving prices up. 32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽 President Manny Pastreich knows it doesn’t have to be this way. New Yorkers deserve to know which hospital systems are charging


“The OHA is now expected to issue a revised report with the new numbers to give the city critical information needed to help negotiate cheaper prices for healthcare.” Releasing this data is a massive step towards lowering healthcare costs for New Yorkers. Thank you Julie Menin

“In a profit-driven healthcare system that pits payers and providers against each other, patients are often caught in the middle, exposing them to high out-of-pocket costs.” - Lown Institute





🚨NEW: U.S. Department of Justice is investigating NewYork-Presbyterian for possible violations of antitrust laws - specifically for cutting deals with insurance companies in order to keep prices high for patients, unions, and employers. nytimes.com/2025/07/28/nyr…

This DOJ antitrust investigation is huge. Proud to fight alongside 32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽 for hospital transparency and an end to spiraling out of control hospital pricing and anticompetitive practices that are gouging New Yorkers.
