BILL NUMBER:A9792
Title of bill
An act to amend the public health law, in relation to hospital disclosure of services provided outside of the United States
Purpose or general idea of bill
To require hospitals to disclose any hospital service or health related service provided by such hospital that is performed outside of the United States.
Summary of specific provisions
Adds a new section to the Public Health Law requiring every hospital to disclose to each of its patients, information setting forth each hospital service and health-related service provided by such hospital that is performed outside of the United States by any person, firm, corporation or other business entity.
Justification
Outsourcing is work done for a company by another company or people other than the original company's employees. Outsourcing entails purchasing a product or process from an outside supplier rather than producing this product or process in-house. In New York, many hospitals are outsourcing jobs and/or services overseas, thereby sacrificing many New Yorkers' jobs and/or employment opportunities.
This legislation will require the disclosure of any hospital or health-related service that is performed outside of the United States to patients.
