Medicaid for undocumented New Yorkers over 65

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.”

I don’t know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what is most precious to me.

To be honest... I was in complete and utter shit back then. My wife left, slamming the door so hard that everything inside me collapsed. The apartment was empty, the silence was oppressive, I was pacing the room like a cornered wolf. I couldn't work, I sent my friends away, I hated myself. My life was going to hell. At some point, I realized: that's it, I can't handle it anymore. And I went to Matrona. Without hope, without any pretty words... just like a man who has no one else to turn to. I begged her like a man, please help... If there's even a chance to get her back, help. I was already at rock bottom. And, damn it, the last thing I expected happened. A couple of days later, my wife contacted me herself. Not with any show-offs, not with reproaches... she just said... Let's talk. I almost dropped the phone. She came home... And we talked so much that it seemed the walls were shaking: we broke down, screamed, were silent, cried. But damn, it was real. And most importantly... she stayed. The house came to life. I came to life. It was as if someone had shaken us both. I don't know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what was most precious to me. I couldn't have done it without her. Here's her number: +38(063) 022 89 99 Viber/WhatsApp
 

I'm grateful to Lilia not only for bringing my husband back, but also for helping me find confidence, strength, and inner peace. She's more than just a clairvoyant.

I contacted Lilia during a very difficult time in my life. My husband left our family—one day, he simply said he "stopped feeling" and packed his things. I couldn't believe that everything we'd built over the years was falling apart so easily. We didn't speak for almost a month, he ignored my messages, and then I found out he had someone else. On the advice of a close friend, I decided to contact Lilia. At first, I didn't know what to expect, but already during the first consultation, she told me things no one else knew—details of our relationship, my state, my inner fears. It was astounding. Lilia performed an energy cleansing, removing the negativity that, according to her, surrounded us, and performed a ritual to restore connection. She also gave me recommendations on how to behave, how to work on myself, and which words are important. Ten days later, my husband contacted me himself. At first, just a message. Then a meeting. And three weeks later, he came home. Now we are together, and I feel that he has truly rethought a lot. I'm grateful to Lilia not only for bringing my husband back, but also for helping me find confidence, strength, and inner peace. She's more than just a clairvoyant. She's a guide who works with the soul. I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
 

PSYCHIC ALEXANDER +380971792179

At the time, I didn't notice the moment my life began to crumble. It was as if I was caught in quicksand and didn't realize it. My business was barely afloat, my relationship with my husband was strained to the breaking point, and constant apathy was draining me of all my energy. But I distinctly remember the moment I was sitting in the dentist's chair and, without expecting it, I began pouring out my heart to him. It was then that he remarked that it was as if someone had jinxed me or cursed me, given how bad things had gotten. He mentioned the magician Alexander, who had once helped him bring his wife back to their family when all hope had been lost. We're all skeptics sometimes, but I wasn't in the mood for anything good, so I asked for his contact information. I messaged him on Viber and arranged a consultation. Alexander struck me as a gifted and considerate man. He sees fate as if through an X-ray. He immediately sensed the invisible weight that was enveloping me. Moreover, he described in detail events from my life that no one could have known about. I won't go into the details of all the magical practices, but I can say that the cleansing process was very personal and profound. With each passing day, I felt the heaviness gradually lift. Years of rust began to peel away from my life. My business suddenly began to revive, and clients literally poured in. My relationship with my husband began to improve; we regained the understanding and warmth that seemed long lost. And most importantly, my energy, joy in life, and desire to act and create returned. The magician Alexander didn't just rid me of negative influences; he helped me rediscover myself, my inner light. I am infinitely grateful to him for the help he provided. In conclusion, if you feel like your life has reached a dead end, that something invisible is weighing you down and preventing you from moving forward, I can confidently recommend contacting Alexander. He is capable of true miracles, helping restore harmony in various areas of your life. Alexander's number +380971792179
