On April 4, 2024, in honor of National Public Health Week, city and state agencies held a citywide day of action in New York City to encourage undocumented New Yorkers age 65 and older to enroll in the newly expanded Medicaid health plan.
Effective January 1, the Medicaid program was expanded to include undocumented seniors who are income eligible in New York State. Previously, coverage for older undocumented residents was limited to coverage for emergency medical visits. To reach undocumented New Yorkers who may qualify, the New York City Mayor's Office of Community Engagement, NYC Care staff and their partners distributed information in multiple languages to areas of the city with large immigrant populations. New Yorkers who meet the criteria can connect with the Office of Public Affairs' GetCoveredNYC program or go directly to the New York City Department of Health website to register. Those already enrolled in Emergency Medicaid will be automatically transferred to this expanded coverage and will have the opportunity to choose a new plan. For more information, visit nyc.gov/ExpandedMedicaid. NYC Health hospitals are committed to reducing barriers to health care by empowering New Yorkers to live the healthiest lives possible. The health system strongly supports coverage for all by expanding Essential Plan eligibility to extend coverage to individuals who are not currently eligible for health insurance due to their immigration status. “Expanding Medicaid to undocumented New Yorkers age 65 and older is a critical step forward toward more equitable public health in our city,” said Adrienne Lever, executive director of the Mayor's Office of Public Affairs. “I am proud of the dedicated efforts of our city, state and community partners to ensure that seniors, regardless of their immigration status, receive the care they deserve.” Through the strategic work of Community Engagement, we are breaking down barriers to health and access to insurance for some of New York's most vulnerable residents.” “Previously, undocumented seniors living in New York were limited to receiving Medicaid only in emergency situations, making it difficult to effectively manage health care for one of our most vulnerable populations,” said Amir Bassiri, New York State Medicaid Director. “This expansion is fundamental to our commitment to addressing health inequities and advancing health equity.” “Undocumented adults are more likely to work in jobs that do not provide health benefits. They have historically faced restrictions on participation in government programs, forcing them to forgo preventive services and screenings and rely on costly emergency room care as their only option,” said Commissioner of Health Dr. James McDonald. “This expansion of Medicaid eligibility for immigrants in New York is the state's recognition of the importance of health care equity, especially for those age 65 and older. This critical step is consistent with the City's ongoing efforts to create a healthy New York for older adults,” said Department on Aging Commissioner Lorraine Cortez-Vazquez. “The Department of Aging is committed to supporting the state’s efforts to attract, educate and enroll immigrant seniors to access this unique health coverage.” “As a primary care physician, I am thrilled to support the citywide effort to educate older New Yorkers about Medicaid expansion, providing them with quality, affordable health insurance. Whether someone is managing a chronic illness or getting a routine check-up with a doctor, they will all gain peace of mind knowing that they now have insurance coverage regardless of their income level or immigration status, said Dr. Jonathan Jimenez, MPH , Executive Director of NYC Care at NYC Health+ Hospitals. “I thank our government and community partners, and our network of volunteers, for their commitment to reducing health inequalities and supporting the development of vibrant, healthy communities.” “Health care is every person's right, and in New York we recognize that everyone deserves access to quality health care, regardless of their immigration status,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Wasan. “I encourage all New Yorkers to take advantage of these benefits and sign up today because there is no path to healthier, longer lives for ALL New Yorkers without access to healthcare.” Marina Lagunova

Return to Andriy's molfar. He is a serviceable charmer, and his help is priceless. Andria's number +380932169225
Hello everyone! I want to share my story, because maybe someone can help. I still don’t believe what happened to me, but it’s not like this. My man, my soul, my children, has become a stranger. You just need to go to another woman... to a woman I never heard of, and who, as it turned out, gave me a love spell. My heart burst into pieces. The children cried out that I was suffering, and it was even worse. There were prayers, tears, and blessings with the Kohanim. Nothing helped, even though I was under hypnosis. Vipadadkovo's unknown wife in the clinic, at the hour of the wedding, pleased the beast to Andriy's molfar. She said that she shouldn’t hurt people and helps them in the most difficult situations. I thought I was so great that I took the contacts. I wrote to Andriy on WhatsApp and asked for a diagnosis. Vin, no one reads my thoughts, saying that the man is in a tizzy. What a love spell. I got goosebumps all over my body. Please don't ask for details! He told me about everything that happened, so, no one would order. It was incredible! She asked for more help. Andriy began to prance. It's not an easy process. I felt how things were changing, but suddenly it was so scary, why ask? Why turn around, my man? Andriy calmed me down, gave me pleasure, encouraged me. And then, after about an hour, my man began to change. Having become dissatisfied, they then began to talk about those who do not understand how they could have done such a thing. And then I turned around! He turned to us, to the children, to me. Just like after a long sleep, illness and destruction, or just after being at home. I am endlessly in love with molfar Andriy. It’s not just turning me into a person, it’s turning me into my family, my life. This gift is beyond belief, it is something that goes beyond the boundaries of our understanding. If you find yourself in a similar situation and realize that your family is on someone else’s responsibility, don’t get carried away. Return to Andriy's molfar. He is a serviceable charmer, and his help is priceless. Andria's number +380932169225
After my husband cheated on me, I didn't know how to move on. My soul was broken, my heart in tatters. I lost faith in myself and in love. I turned to Lilia, even though I hadn't previously believed in magic or clairvoyants. But from the very first words, I felt that she understood me and truly wanted to help. She said there was still a connection between us and recommended several rituals. My husband returned three weeks later—he came with flowers and tears in his eyes. Now we're seeing a family psychologist, working on our relationship. But all of this was only possible thanks to Lilia. She was the first to say, "You're not alone." I thank her from the bottom of my heart! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
When my husband left, I didn't know how to tell my children. My eldest son started to withdraw, and my youngest daughter cried constantly. I wasn't eating, sleeping, or living. I turned to Lilya on a colleague's recommendation. She worked with photographs, performed powerful rituals and cleansings, and most importantly, she provided emotional support. My husband returned three weeks later and said he felt like he'd woken up. Now we're a family, together, like before. I thank God every day for finding Lilya. I RECOMMEND LILYA TO EVERYONE!!!

Varya is a truly bright person, whom fate sent to me at the darkest moment of my life.
When my husband left me for another woman, my world collapsed. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I lived in a fog... Everything we'd built over the years was destroyed in an instant. I prayed, I cried, I asked fate for a sign—and apparently for good reason: fate led me to the molfarka Varya. From our first conversation, I felt extraordinary warmth and strength from her. Varya said that everything can be restored if the love is true, and she suggested performing rituals to cleanse the soul and restore the connection between me and my husband. I did everything as she said: I lit candles, read the words, filled my heart with faith and love. And a miracle happened. Just a few weeks later, my husband called. Then he came. We talked for a long time, both crying... He said he realized where his home is and that he wanted to start over. Now we are together, as if we've found a second wind in our relationship. I am infinitely grateful to the molfarka Varya! Thanks to her strength, wisdom, and kindness, my family is back together, laughter and love resonate in our home. Varya is a true lighthearted person, sent to me by fate at the darkest moment of my life. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
