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

The incredible Lily is a true miracle in the world of clairvoyance!
I want to share the most important story of my life, the one that changed everything. I thought I'd lost the man I loved forever. He left, and my heart was shattered into a thousand pieces. I tried everything: tears, prayers, turning to friends, and even rituals. But nothing helped. I felt helpless and alone, but at that moment, when there was no hope left, I came across Lilia. From the very first contact with her, I realized that she was more than just a clairvoyant—she was a woman with a unique gift and a deep soul. Lilia not only saw my pain but also penetrated the very essence of my experiences, telling me what was hidden even from myself. She explained to me the blocks standing between me and my man, what was preventing us from being together, and how I could change them. Her words were more than just consolation—they became the key that unlocked the heart of my beloved. Lilia gave me specific advice on how to change my inner energy and how to restore my relationship. She didn't promise miracles, but her confidence and accuracy in her predictions gave me the strength to act. I followed her recommendations, and a few weeks later, my man returned to my life. We found each other again, and our love became even stronger and deeper. I am sincerely grateful to Lilia for restoring my world. Thanks to her magic and incredible talent, I was able not only to bring back my loved one but also to learn to love myself, be confident, and happy.

I contacted various people here, but for some reason one review about Lilia caught my eye and I decided to check it out myself. I really needed help and didn't give up, searching for a real specialist. Many people had deceived me, and I had no results, but after talking to Lilia, I realized she was a genuine psychic and sorceress. She was very pleasant to talk to. She helped me not only with advice but also with action. I won't go into details, but in short, she was able to bring my man back to his family and protected him from his mistress, who was casting a love spell on him.

My wife, who is twenty years younger than me, left the family with our daughter, succumbing to pressure from her mother. This was my second marriage, and unfortunately, my mother-in-law was categorically opposed to our relationship from the start. The situation seemed hopeless. Just when I had lost all hope, I turned to the magician Alexander. I sent him a WhatsApp message at +380971792179 and arranged for a diagnosis. Alexander didn't ask any questions and asked me not to reveal anything. I was so impressed when he told me everything, right down to names and other details no one else could know! I literally begged him to help me. Alexander agreed to carry out the necessary work. And the results were immediate. Less than a month later, my wife returned to me. I remember how she walked into the house, put down her bag, and our daughter ran to me as fast as she could and hugged me tightly. And at that moment, I knew I had won. And then came another surprise. My mother-in-law, who constantly turned my wife against me, suddenly reversed her behavior and gave us an apartment, which we now rent out. She said we deserved happiness and wanted to make amends, and the extra rent wouldn't hurt. I'm still in shock and can't wrap my head around it. Alexander truly works miracles! That's why I recommend everyone contact him if they need help.

Lily is the only one who brought back my love and gave me hope!
I hesitated for a long time to leave this review because even now I find it hard to believe that all of this happened to me. I was at the brink of despair, and nothing seemed possible. My man of many years suddenly left. I tried to get him back, did everything I could, but my efforts only drove him further away. I felt like I was losing not only him, but myself as well. My heart was broken, and I didn't know how to move on. Just when I was about to give up and decided all my efforts were in vain, a friend recommended that I contact Lilia. At first, I didn't believe in such things, but something in her words resonated with me. I reached out for help, not knowing what to expect, but she didn't just surprise me—she saved my life. Lilia understood at first glance what was stopping me from getting my loved one back. She saw all my fears, insecurities, and blocks I hadn't even realized I had. She explained that sometimes, to bring back love, you need to start with yourself, you need to learn to let go and forgive, not only others, but yourself too. Lilia told me that anything was possible if I opened my heart and started moving forward. I followed her advice. I worked on myself, changed my thoughts and behavior. And then, a month later, when I was beginning to believe all was lost, he came back. It was a miracle I will never forget. He said, "I felt you changed, and now I want to be with you again." Those words were a real salvation for me. I don't know how she does it, but Lilia is more than just a clairvoyant; she's truly a magician. Thanks to her, I got my love back, but most importantly, I learned to love myself. She taught me to see my strength and confidence, and now I understand that happiness begins with me. I will be grateful to her for the rest of my life. If you've lost love or simply don't know what to do with your life, I sincerely recommend contacting Lilia. She knows exactly how to bring happiness and love back into your life! Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
