Brooks-Powers questions H&H on EP5 losses and Medicaid work requirements
Brooks-Powers asks how many of the 242,000 New Yorkers who lost Essential Plan coverage are eligible for NYC Care, whether data is available by borough, and how H&H is responding. She also asks how many H&H Medicaid patients will face work requirements starting January 1.
Thank you so much because, you know, the kids got to get picked up from school.
But thank you for the testimony.
Just really quickly.
I have a question.
I have two questions focused on HR1 and losing essential plan coverage, and I have two on budget and capacity.
I'll read all of those questions, and you tell me what I need to repeat.
Sounds good.
Deal?
Deal.
Okay.
So about 450,000 New Yorkers lost essential plan coverage in July, and only about 242,000 found new plans.
Do we know how many of those 242,000 without plans are eligible for New York City care?
Is this data available by borough?
And how has the health and hospital scene come in, whether by enrolling New York City care or showing up uninsured in the emergency room?
And Medicaid work requirements begin January 1st.
Just over two months from now, how many health and hospital Medicaid patients will be subject to those requirements?
And what will H&H do to support those people?
I'm going to hold the last two because I know that was a lot.
