Healthcare in New York (state)

Healthcare in New York refers to all health care available in the state of New York. The healthcare system does not provide for the entire population, but instead most people are covered by a combination of private insurance and various federal and state programs. The state relies on a county-based system for delivery of public health services, though the state government handles many things in areas such as professional and facility licensing. Services can broadly be categorized into inpatient care, outpatient care, and long-term care. The health care and social assistance sector accounted for 18.2% of total non-farm employment in the state.
