health coverage

With the end of certain federal COVID public health emergency rules, New Yorkers getting health insurance from Medicaid and related plans must re-enroll to keep their coverage.

The Assembly Speaker said it’s a better choice than “cutting health care or denying health care” to New Yorkers.

Lawmakers and the governor opted to create their own exchange because it’s likely to save the commonwealth money.

The health insurer must pay restitution to policy holders in cases where claims were miscalculated.
