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."
“Governor Hochul has the opportunity to be the hero and save health coverage for half a million people,” said CSS VP of Health Initiatives Elisabeth Benjamin.
The solution exists. The funding exists.
Now New Yorkers need action from @GovKathyHochul.

Of the nine listed by DHS lists, only two people had previous arrests for violent crimes. Among the rest, one had an alleged assault in Mexico but no US criminal history, two were arrested for counterfeiting and three had no criminal history at all
Disgraceful.
The Chair of the Democratic Party refusing to support the candidate clearly selected by the voters of the Democratic Party.

Stay tuned. And let’s break down the actual bill language details to tell you why each NY republican congress member deserves to be voted out next year.
