New York lawmakers are planning a special session to discuss subsidized health coverage for some 255,000 undocumented immigrants. But would Gov. Hochul sign the measure?
with a proposal to expand eligibility to those with higher incomes — but not to people who are undocumented.
“We appreciate New York’s longstanding commitment to providing affordable health insurance coverage to its residents, and look forward to continuing to work with the State on this matter,” Chiquita Brooks-Lasure, administrator for the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, added in the letter.
“There might be some parts of the population we would not be able to cover,” said Rivera, who chairs the Senate Health Committee. “The language in the bill actually allows the commissioner some flexibility so we would not be on the hook for those individuals.”
