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

Remote photo reading with Galina Vishnevskaya +79687419383 reviews
Dear girls, I'm writing this review for those who doubt and think it's impossible to help from a distance. I was such a skeptic myself, until the ground fell out from under my feet. My husband, with whom I was building a house and planning IVF, suddenly went silent, withdrawn, and then simply sent a text message: "I'm leaving, don't look for me." He turned off his phone. I thought I'd go crazy; I cried for days, my heart simply breaking from this uncertainty. I contacted many psychics online, sent money, but they either sent me generic horoscope phrases or completely blocked me after payment. In complete despair, I came across Galina Vishnevskaya's contact information. I messaged her remotely on WhatsApp at +79687419383 and sent her our wedding photo. Girls, when Galina responded, my hair stood on end. From the photo, she recalled details of our last conversation from a distance that no one could have known! She saw that my husband had been severely damaged and cooled by his ex. Galina performed a ritual remotely, removed this negativity, and restored his feelings. Forty days later, my husband returned. He was beside himself, crying, begging for forgiveness, saying it was as if he'd been possessed by a demon. A huge thank you to Galina! She performed a miracle remotely and saved me from the cycle of despair. She was the only one who helped!
Ladies, I'm writing for those of you whose home life has become a living hell. My husband, children, and I moved into a new apartment, and it was like a different person—constant arguments for no apparent reason, the kids became cranky and slept poorly, my husband started working late, and our relationship became completely frosty. I realized the apartment had heavy energy, or someone was deeply jealous. I consulted the light healer Tatyana on a colleague's recommendation. Tatyana read our Tarot cards and confirmed that the previous tenants had left a lot of negativity, plus a strong evil eye had been cast on us as a couple. Tatyana performed a powerful house cleansing with prayers and rolled an egg across our entire family to remove pent-up anger and envy. And to cement the results, she made a special Slavic amulet doll for our home to protect the family and attract prosperity. Ladies, the atmosphere in our family changed instantly! The house has become cozy, the children sleep peacefully all night, and my husband and I have regained our former tenderness and understanding. Tatyana is very strong and helps with many problems. Save her phone number: 0984558444.
Hey girls, I decided to write because I used to spend all night reading forums and looking for real reviews. I turned to Anastasia when everything in my life was going wrong—constant arguments, anxiety, a feeling like I was jinxed. She did a diagnosis, looked at my cards, and immediately told me things I'd never told anyone. She said there was negativity. After the cleansing, I really felt better—the heaviness went away, I felt calmer, and even my sleep improved. She works very carefully, without any intimidation or "I urgently need another ritual." She explains everything calmly. I'm leaving my contact information in case anyone needs it: 8906 6204170 (Max WhatsApp Telegram) Instagram: www.instagram.com/gadanie_anastia_3388
I want to share my experience, in case anyone else is going through the same struggle I was. I turned to Daria during a period of depression, constant tears, and the thought that nothing good was in store. She listened attentively, read my fortune, and explained everything in simple terms. She immediately explained what the problem was and where it was coming from. Then she worked on removing negativity and protecting myself. After that, I felt much better, gained energy, and the desire to live and move on. I still sometimes turn to her for advice. Phone: +16463779379 or +38 0996826298
