Enacts the "Freedom of Choice in Health Care Act"

This bill establishes a state policy guaranteeing New Yorkers the right to choose private health care providers and coverage without state mandates or penalties. It prohibits New York from requiring anyone to participate in a specific health care system or plan, or imposing fines for declining coverage or selecting a particular option. The law applies to all residents and takes effect immediately upon enactment. It is a policy declaration rather than a regulatory change, affirming existing private health care choices under general state laws.
