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

I want to leave a review about a wonderful clairvoyant who truly helped me bring back my loved one. We broke up, and I was completely at a loss, not knowing what to do next. I contacted her, and she did several Tarot readings and helped me remove a curse and negativity. After her work, I felt a huge change in myself, and a couple of weeks later, my loved one returned.

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).
Lily is my savior and sorceress who brought back my lost love!
I didn't believe in magic. I used to think such things were just fiction and delusions. But when I found myself on the brink of despair and lost the man of my dreams, I had no choice. He left. Just left, leaving me with a broken heart and the feeling that my whole life had lost its meaning. I tried to fight, to fix everything I could, but nothing worked. And at some point, I just gave up. Then I found out about Lilia. At first, I even doubted it, but a gut feeling told me this was my last chance. I decided to give it a try, and it was the right decision. When I first talked to Lilia, I felt such incredible warmth and support that even the tears weren't from pain, but from the fact that I was finally understood. She immediately "saw" the whole situation. Not only what was happening with my man, but also my own mistakes, my fears, my doubts. She accurately identified the blocks that were preventing him and me from being happy, and offered not just a path to restoring our relationship, but a transformation of me as a person. Lilia didn't promise miracles. She said I needed to work on myself. But her words were so confident and warm that I believed anything was possible. She set me on a path of self-discovery, taught me to let go of the past, overcome my fears, and become more self-assured. And a month later, when I had almost forgotten how painful it had been, he came. The very man I once thought lost forever returned to my life. He said, "You've changed. You've become different, and I want to be with you too." These were the most important words in my life, and I know that without Lilia, this would not have happened. I am forever grateful to her for what she did for me. She gave me back not only a man, but also my own strength. I once again felt worthy of happiness, and that love isn't magic, but a force that lies within us. Lilia is more than just a clairvoyant. She is a woman with a deep understanding of life and a huge heart. I recommend her to anyone who has lost hope. She will restore not only your love, but also your faith in yourself. Thank you, Lilia, for being there, for your support, and for your miracle! Her contact information is: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
