City Council backs Albany bill to create ‘Medicare for all’ - including illegals

Posted: Dec 7th, 2018 - 12:01 pm

The City Council on Thursday put its political clout behind a proposal in Albany to overhaul state health care by creating a “Medicare for all” program that would raise taxes by $139 billion a year.

The single-payer plan would extend coverage to the roughly 1 million uninsured New Yorkers — including undocumented immigrants — and eliminate all co-pays and deductibles.

But it would also boost payroll and other taxes, especially for the wealthy, and require the federal government to hand over Medicare, Medicaid and other medical payments to the state.
