There was money available to ensure no one lost their Essential Plan coverage and @GovKathyHochul CHOSE not to use it. Nearly 500,000 NYers will lose health insurance July 1 because the Governor is letting that happen.

[Rebecca C. Lewis @_rebeccaclewis]

State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins seemed to blame Gov. Hochul for lack of action to help 450k NYers set to lose Essential Plan health insurance in July.
"We did try. We suggested different ways," she said. "The governor, you know, was frankly not a supporter."

Thank you, @CaringMRising!

My mother and aunt are home care workers and all of us have advocated for reform. I’m excited to join the coalition of legislators who care.

[John Samuelsen @TwuSamuelsen]

.@GovKathyHochul literally is “the side” that is triggering this strike. If she wanted to settle this contract she would not have hired the anti-worker hatchet-man, destructive Gary Dellaverson , to represent her in bargaining. His involvement dramatically increases the chances of @LIRR workers shutting the stem down. Under her instructions, he is leading @MTA to the edge of the cliff , Hochul’s actions here are nearly at the point of no return. A strike is now highly likely. Anti-Worker Governors need Anti-Worker Lawyers, and Hochul is getting what she wanted. @LIFEDofLABOR @TWULocal100 @transportworker @NYSAFLCIO @CentralLaborNYC

🚨📞URGENT: We need our Medicaid. We need our home care.

@GovKathyHochul MUST tax the rich to defend New Yorkers from Trump’s healthcare cuts and decide: our lives or her donors?

Call her office using the script below:

☎️ Hi, this is {NAME], calling from ZIP code [#####]. I’m calling to ask you to support taxes on the rich to fund a budget that works for all of us. Trump’s cuts to Medicaid will devastate hundreds of thousands of home care workers, older adults, and people with disabilities in New York. Half a million New Yorkers will be thrown off their Essential Plan healthcare on July 1, and that’s just the beginning. If the state budget doesn’t tax the rich, you are complicit with Trump’s cuts to healthcare. We’re asking you to be a governor for the working class, not the CEO class. Tax the rich.

NOT THE BAGELS :( Private equity ruins everything :(

Private equity out of home care, NY bagels, and everything else tbh! #CareNotCorruption

[Ilana Berger @Ilanalee7]

This is such an obvious budget choice NY state leaders should make. Ensure NYers don’t lose their health coverage. We have the funds to do it. But @GovKathyHochul seems fine to blame republicans and pretend she can’t do anything.

[Fiscal Policy Institute @NYFiscalPolicy]

Federal approval of the Essential Plan transition freed up $2.5B in state funds—more than enough to provide permanent coverage for the 470K Essential Plan enrollees set to lose coverage in July, and gap coverage for 800K New Yorkers disenrolled due to Medicaid work requirements

[Fiscal Policy Institute @NYFiscalPolicy]

Tens of thousands of workers lost access to healthcare as a result of the CDPAP transition last year. Neither Governor Hochul nor PPL has acted to restore them.

[NY Caring Majority 🍎 @CaringMajority]

📢 NOW! GOVERNOR HOCHUL: OUR LIVES OR YOUR DONORS? NYers are occupying @govkathyhochul’s office to demand she Tax the Rich to defend our Medicaid and home care!

The federal cuts to Medicaid are life threatening to us. The cuts we’re seeing in the coming months are just the beginning. Hochul must decide: lifesaving care for New Yorkers, or the interests of her billionaire donors?

Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction during a Pentagon sermon.

[Sarahana Shrestha @sarahana]

New Yorkers impacted by Essential Plan changes—including 450,000 who will lose coverage in July—are about to receive this confusing letter. “No action needed” can mean the state is moving you to another plan, or you’re on your own.

We need S9589 to keep New Yorkers insured!

[Ilana Berger @Ilanalee7]

😂🤬😂🤬

[NY Caring Majority 🍎 @CaringMajority]

Kathy came in like a wrecking ball. Yeah, she wrecked CDPAP 😔🎶

[Arthur 📚🔰🚩🍉🔆 @artisanrocky]

Utter fucking disgrace to the Democratic Party that she’s leading the charge on this

[NY Caring Majority 🍎 @CaringMajority]

Enough is enough! Why is there zero oversight over PPL’s $11 billion contract?

[Beth Finkel @BethNY]

Over 70,000 people on a waiting list in NYS... waiting for meals, transportation, I&R and more. Not acceptable @AARPNY

[Fiscal Policy Institute @NYFiscalPolicy]

The Essential Plan cliff will render 470,000 New Yorkers uninsured.

The one-house budgets make no plans to address it. (From this evening's Playbook PM)
