New York’s Affordable Healthcare Plan is in Jeopardy. Many New Yorkers could Lose their Essential Plan Healthcare Coverage in 7/2026. H.R. 1, the Big Beautiful Bill, as Trump (R) Calls it, Cut Existing Obamacare Funding for States.
“We know health care coverage has a direct impact on whether people are able to go to work,” said EmblemHealth’s Executive Chair Karen Ignangi, about the Potential Fallout coming in 7/2026.
Currently, the Essential Plan Covers 1.7 million New Yorkers. Governor Hochul (D) wants to Abandon the Essential Plan, to Spare as many New Yorkers as Possible.
“The governor and her team had the forethought to say we need to go back to an earlier plan,” said Ignangi.
If Governor Hochul’s Request to the Federal Government is Approved, New York will Switch back to the Obamacare Basic Health Plan. This Switch will allow for 450,000 New Yorkers to Lose Coverage versus 1.3 million of the 1.7 million New Yorkers Covered.
450,000 People is 25% of Manhattan or the Populations of Rochester and Buffalo Combined.
The New York State of Health website issued a Warning saying, “significant changes to eligibility for lawfully present immigrants.” Syracuse University Dr. Jun Li who Researches Health Economics and Insurance said Lawmakers in Washington D.C. used H.R. 1 to take Stances on Immigration.
