Relates to coverage for New Yorkers losing insurance due to the implementation of HR 1

Summary

The bill directs New York’s health insurance marketplace to set up a state premium assistance program by Jan 1 2027 that provides subsidy levels comparable to federal ACA credits for people who are lawfully present but ineligible for federal subsidies because of their immigration status. It also expands state‑funded health coverage to low‑income non‑citizens, permanently residing individuals, and certain citizens whose incomes fall between 133 % and 250 % of the federal poverty line, and includes protections for pregnant people and newborns. The goal is to prevent loss of coverage as federal changes under HR 1 take effect.
