No Where to Go: State Legislature Proposes to Cut Child Health Insurance
Posted November, 20 2009 by arianne
As part of the Deficit Reduction Plan (DRP) debate, New York Senate Minority Leader Skelos and Assembly Minority Leader Kohl propose to reduce Child Health Plus (CHPlus) eligibility in New York.
This proposal, if enacted, would leave tens of thousands of children living in working families without health care. The Coalition of New York State Public Health Plans and the Children’s Defense Fund–a HCFANY member–urge Legislators to REJECT proposals to cut Child Health Plus eligibility levels.
