Per The Hill U.S. CBO 7.6 -8.6 million would lose health insurance if House Medicaid proposal enacted. That's ~12% of ALL people on Medicaid. Minimum cut would be ~$440 Billion directly from the program. thehill.com/policy/healthc… RT NYS AAP - Chapter 2 NYS AAP - Chapter 3 NYSAAPCH1

It's moving closer. House Budget Comm. votes through bill w/unprecendented Mediciad cuts & a potential loss of insurance for 8.6 million. thehill.com/homenews/house… Now is the time to get activated. Increased red tape, lower federal support --> it's all on the table. RT NYS AAP - Chapter 2

Honored to speak at a press conference w/ Tom Suozzi & Congresswoman Laura Gillen outlining the devastating impact of the recently-passed House bill on Medicaid coverage for kids in NYS.

29% of the children in my district count on Medicaid. These proposed cuts would crush our neighbors, hospitals, and health care providers. Listen to these interviews and decide whether unnecessary tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and massive deficits are worth the cost.

Great to hear Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal speak in Albany last week as members of ⁦NYS AAP - Chapter 2⁩ ⁦NYS AAP - Chapter 3⁩ ⁦NYSAAPCH1⁩ ⁦ParentsAgainstVaping⁩ & ⁦Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids⁩ supported her bill to strengthen inspections for illegal flavored vape products. ⁦

Thank you to Dr. S. Shah Shetal Shah for his anti-tobacco advocacy & to Brad Hoylman-Sigal 🌈🥯 & Linda B. Rosenthal “the #OriginalRosenthal” for their support of A2128/S5196. We must allow reasonable inspections to ensure flavored vapes are not sold to kids in NYS. RT Dr. Eve Meltzer Krief Rachel Boykan Dr. Sara “Quit Tobacco/Nicotine” Siddiqui David Fagan, MD
