A bill that would pave the way for a single-payer health care system in New York cleared the Assembly Health Comittee on Monday as its supporters argue the measure is needed following the COVID-19 pandemic exposing deep flaws in the current system. 
Opponents, however, continued to argue on Monday the bill would be ruinous for the state's finances as well as for employment in the health care sector. 
The measure has been a long-sought one for Assembly Health Committee Chairman Richard Gottfried, a Democrat and the longest-serving lawmaker in Albany.
