Mental health care delayed is mental health care denied. Proud to stand w/ advocates & providers demanding passage of my bill, A8055, to carve out behavioral health services from Medicaid Managed Care. New Yorkers should not have to fight endless red tape to access care.

It’s Time to Put Mental Health Care over Insurance Industry Profits.

Our proposal improves access to behavioral health care for New Yorkers, allows providers to focus on delivering that care, and saves the state $400M/year.
