This Health Care Plan would further undo the little money there is for nursing homes and home care.
“The state gets only 91 cents in federal funding for every dollar it sends to Washington — one of just 11 states that give more than they get, state Controller Thomas DiNapoli”

From: New York’s Medicaid Director re: current proposed gutting of ACA health care plan.
“This bill would take health care away from 2.7 million New Yorkers, and cost state taxpayers $6.9 billion in additional costs. …affects all New Yorkers and will be the biggest blow to health care in our state’s history. Worse still… an amendment [was proposed] that hurts New Yorkers even more and is against the interest of …all New Yorkers.
If New Yorkers join together and make our voices heard we can still defeat this attack on our health care system. The House of Representatives plans to vote on this devastating legislation tomorrow — so we need New Yorkers like you to speak out now.
Call (202) 224-3121 to be connected to your representative and say vote NO on the bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. You can also look up your representative and find out more information on how to contact them up here.
The more we learn about repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act, the sicker New York gets. …New Yorkers face dire circumstances if this bill passes…:
- 2.7 million New Yorkers will lose coverage
- New York’s total loss in funding would amount to $6.9 billion
- Nursing Home Payments would be cut by $401 million
- Home care payments would be cut by $360 million
- Hospital payments would be cut by $355 million
….
Will you call your member of Congress now and tell them to vote NO on the bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act? Call (202) 224-3121 to be connected to your representative now.
Thank you for pushing back against this dangerous piece of legislation.”
Sincerely,
Jason Helgerson, New York State Medicaid Director
