Yesterday, dozens of volunteers turned out to the New York State Capitol to tell legislators why they support authorizing medical aid in dying. We held a press conference to announce an important breakthrough- sponsoring legislators combined the two medical aid-in-dying bills into a single bill, the Medical Aid in Dying Act.
A combined bill will allow Compassion & Choices and supporters to focus on advancing a single piece of legislation. Sen. Diane Savino and Assemblymember Amy Paulin are the sponsors of the new legislation.
After the press conference, Compassion & Choices volunteers from across the state held nearly 100 meetings with state legislators.
