“Republicans in Washington have made it abundantly clear that they are determined to dismantle the social safety net that millions of New Yorkers rely on to secure their basic necessities,” Governor Hochul stated.

Hochul wrote a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, outlining its impact on New York State.

In the letter, she highlights how the:

• Republican-Passed Bill Would Gut New York’s Healthcare System
• Estimated Loss of $13.5 Billion Every Year, Devastating Our Healthcare System
• 1.5 Million New Yorkers To Lose Healthcare Coverage and Become Uninsured; Over $3 Billion in Losses for New York’s Hospitals

New York leaders believe the bill slashes 13.5 billion in funding through cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, which would leave 1.5 million New Yorkers at risk of losing health insurance.
