Reminder to Register:
Public insurance through Medicaid, the Essential Plan, Child Health Plus, and Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans provide coverage to millions of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈers. More than 9.5 million ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈers are enrolled in public health insurance, including nearly 8 million in Medicaid; 1.5 million in the Essential Plan; and 250,000 in ACA plans. Medicaid, in particular, is a core vehicle for coverage, jointly funded by states and the federal government. Enrollment in the program rose to historically high levels during the COVID-19 pandemic; ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ State has undertaken a massive effort to preserve those gains and is also implementing new State policies to expand coverage to certain populations. Â
At the same time, the federal administration and Congress have proposed and are considering significant Medicaid cuts, including through the federal budget reconciliation process. Funding cuts would threaten ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s robust public insurance infrastructure and coverage rates across communities. ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ State partners from across sectors have mobilized quickly to protect and preserve coverage in ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ.
Please join NYHealth for a webinar with updates on proposed federal changes and their potential impact on ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, as well as on coalition partner efforts, actions, and resources.
