Medical Society of New York supports Medical Aid in death

The Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) recently passed a new policy that supports several new pieces of legislation.

The "Medical Aid in Dying Act" supports a physician's choice to either opt-in or out of engaging in procedures in any proposed medical aid in dying legislation.

The group also recognized that migration status is also a social determinant of health.

MSSNY emphasized the importance of enhancing migrant health status depends on equal and non-discriminatory access to healthcare at an affordable cost.

The society also supports any legislation or efforts to expand eligibility for state health insurance coverage regardless of immigration status.
