Milliman to Hochul “NY Loved One's Lives Are Worthless";

Governor Hochul Tells Us Why She Veto’d GFA

​

Meet my trusted advisor, Milliman!

• Smarter than both NY houses of the legislature

• Wiser than bipartisan support

• Cleverer than public opinion

• And brilliant at hiding their real client:
  Insurance Companies

 

Sure, my constituents die...

• One every 35 minutes            WATCH THE COUNT

• 40 families shattered daily

• 15,000 preventable deaths yearly

 

But Milliman whispers what matters most:
"Insurance profits, dear Governor, Insurance
profits above all!"

​

So what if:

1. Republicans support the GFA, to end medical errors

• Democrats support the GFA, to hold providers accountable

• Grieving families beg for change, to end a law that says loved one’s lives are worthless

• 1847's law kills New Yorkers daily, for these reasons and many more

 

Quick! Hand me that rubber stamp! The one with the four magic letters: V-E-T-O

 

The Story Behind the Satire:

​

It may sound like dark humor, but the reality is even darker. Governor Hochul just vetoed the GFA for the third time. Her reason? A report from a consulting firm called Milliman claims insurance costs would rise by 40%.

​

The GFA was written to update a 175-year-old law that values most lives at zero, save only wage earners. It had bipartisan support and would have given grieving families the right to seek justice for the emotional devastation caused by preventable deaths.

Instead, Hochul sided with Milliman's predictions. But here's the catch: Milliman has made similar predictions before, and they were wrong.

​

According to multiple reports: Milliman opposed a prior bill predicting skyrocketing costs. Those increases never materialized. Again,his latest is a claim that GFA would cause a 40% increase in medical liability premiums.

​

Meanwhile, every 35 minutes, another New Yorker dies from a preventable medical error.

Meet the Real Milliman: Albany's Mystery Prophet

​

• A consulting firm that whispers doom in Hochul's ear

• A group whose predictions mysteriously align with insurance company profits

• A name unknown to most New Yorkers but powerful enough to block life-saving laws

• ​

And Here's What Hochul Chooses to Ignore:

​

• 15,000 preventable deaths in New York every year

• The success of similar laws in other states

• The pleas of grieving families
