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

Reviews of Natalia Valerievna's fortune-telling and rituals: +380974259700 (WhatsApp)
Ladies, I want to leave an honest review and thank the forum for this contact! When my relationship was in complete disarray, I visited a bunch of specialists, but no one could help me with my problem. On the advice of the girls, I contacted Natalya Valeryevna. Communicating with her is very easy; the session is held in a comfortable conversational format (you can use a video camera or just audio without a camera). The session includes everything: Tarot, photo review, digital psychology, and a horoscope. She named the exact period when the situation would turn around and performed reconciliation rituals. Everything came true exactly! WhatsApp: +380974259700
I still remember that period with a lump in my throat... It felt like my life was falling apart. The man I loved with all my heart began to disappear from my life... first, he wrote less often, then he would disappear for days. I tried to understand what was happening, blamed myself, looked for reasons in my every word. And then I heard from friends that he had been seen with another... At that moment, everything inside me broke. It wasn't just pain... it was a feeling of betrayal and discarded, like something unnecessary. I didn't eat, didn't sleep, constantly going over the same thoughts in my head. Why? For what? What did I do wrong? It seemed like I was going crazy from this uncertainty and pain. Out of despair, I turned to the clairvoyant Matrona. It was a step I would never have taken before. But I had nothing left to lose... And you know, she saw everything. Things I didn't even have time to say. She explained why he had distanced himself, what was really going on with him, and gave me hope when there was nothing left inside. After that, everything began to change, slowly but surely. He began to return... cautiously at first, then more and more often. We talked, and much became clear. And step by step, we restored what seemed forever lost. I can't put into words what I felt when he took my hand again... After all this pain, tears, and sleepless nights... it was like a breath of air. And at that moment, I especially clearly understand to whom I owe the fact that I didn't break completely. Matrona didn't just help... she literally pulled me out of a state where I had no strength, no faith, no hope. She supported, guided, and gave me support when everything was crumbling. I am endlessly grateful to Matrona for her help, for her sensitivity and strength. For not abandoning me in the darkest moment of my life. For me, this is not just a person... this is someone who helped me get back not only the relationship, but also myself!!! I recommend +380630228999 Viber/WhatsApp
When my boyfriend suddenly and without explanation broke up with me, I felt like I couldn't bear it. It was a huge blow; I was devastated, lost, and unsure how to move on. My tears wouldn't dry, and my heart ached with pain. But a clue as to how to fix everything unexpectedly came to me. During a layover at Frankfurt Airport on a flight to Warsaw, when I decided to visit my parents for a little distraction, I struck up a conversation with a woman on the same flight. Seeing how I was suffering, she treated me with compassion and offered moral support. She shared various curious incidents and experiences from her life and recommended that I consult the clairvoyant magician Zakhar about my situation. I decided to give it a try and wrote down his phone number. I can confidently say it was the right decision. Zakhar proved himself to be an exceptionally powerful clairvoyant, capable of deeply understanding situations and finding solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems. Thanks to his help and magical practice, my boyfriend returned to me after some time. More importantly, he proposed to me. We are happily married. I know that when traditional methods fail, unconventional solutions come to the rescue. Therefore, I sincerely recommend the magician Zakhar to anyone who needs truly effective and efficient help with personal matters. You can text or call Zakhar at +380954248510 (Viber, WhatsApp).

My boyfriend's mother didn't want us to marry. She even openly said at times that our relationship was temporary and that his son needed someone else. My boyfriend, however, didn't want to go against his parents. The magician Alexander helped me solve this problem. I didn't even have to tell him anything—he saw everything for himself and offered various options. As a result, my current mother-in-law completely changed her attitude toward me within a few weeks and insisted that we get married as soon as possible. We even became friends and still have wonderful relationships. I'm happily married. Don't wait for the weather to change when you can change the situation, even with the help of people who have the skills.
