Mercedes Narcisse

I appreciate you.

Mercedes Narcisse

So you know which direction we're going.

Mercedes Narcisse

You are sitting here.

Mercedes Narcisse

So we're more likely in a bit of trouble or a pickle.

Mercedes Narcisse

Like you said, not too scary because we have organizations like yours and, of course, NYC Care took care to help us.

Mercedes Narcisse

And you came all the way from Albany to testify for us?

Member of the Public - Jane Nee

Yes, I did.

Mercedes Narcisse

Oh, my God.

Mercedes Narcisse

So we want to say thank you for traveling to come here because we do care in New York City, and we'll have a little conversation the minute I'm finished because it's not too many people.

Mercedes Narcisse

I'm so appreciative of anyone that traveled to make it their business to make sure that we address the needs of the people in New York City.

Mercedes Narcisse

And health care is a human right.

Mercedes Narcisse

And we all in agreement in New York City.

Mercedes Narcisse

Of course.

Mercedes Narcisse

I mean, most of us, actually, because some folks don't think so.

Mercedes Narcisse

But we do.

Mercedes Narcisse

We're in majority.

Mercedes Narcisse

So we're going to make sure that people care.

Mercedes Narcisse

It's just we have to care for humans.

Mercedes Narcisse

Yes.

Mercedes Narcisse

Thank you.
