New York State Senator Chuck Schumer visited Sullivan County yesterday to announce a new bill aimed at reversing President Trump’s Medicaid cuts. Schumer stood side by side with local lawmakers Assemblymember Paula Kay and Sullivan County Legislature Chair Nadia Rajsz along with community leaders.
Lawmakers estimate that 1.5 million New Yorkers could lose healthcare coverage when the law is enacted. But for rural areas like Sullivan County – where there are fewer hospitals and a larger percentage of residents on Medicaid compared to urban areas – the cuts could be a make or break moment. Radio Catskill’s Kimberly Izar brings us this report.
