New York City Council · Oct 28, 2026 · starts 0:52:32 · 21 sec

Epstein asks what New York City's uninsured population was before July 1, 2026, what it is today, and what H&H expects in early 2027. Jimenez cites a DOHMH estimate that up to 900,000 people could become uninsured at the full effect of HR1.

Harvey D. Epstein

So can you tell us what the New York City unenrolled population was before July 1, 2026, and what the unenrolled population is today?

Harvey D. Epstein

And what do you expect the unenrolled population will be in January, February of next year?

Dr. Ted Long

You mean the uninsured population?

Harvey D. Epstein

Yeah, yeah, sorry, uninsured population.
