Zahava is running for New York State Assembly to support the New York Health Act, affordable housing, living wage standards and access to mental health resources for students and teachers in every school. Zahava works in the healthcare industry and wants to improve access to healthcare for all New Yorkers. As a patient advocate and claim denials manager, Zahava fights with insurance companies to pay every patient’s claim. Zahava is ready to continue that fight in Albany, and build a future where every New Yorker has equal access to healthcare, housing, a living wage and mental health resources.
