but man :mjlol: how the fukk is he gonna pay for this?

The city will roll out the program borough by borough, the mayor’s office announced, starting in the Bronx this summer and covering the entire city by 2021.

It will ultimately reach as many as 600,000 uninsured New Yorkers, at a cost of $100 million per year ― money, de Blasio said, that the city is already spending through the treatment of uninsured New Yorkers in emergency rooms and other settings for acute care.

NYC Care will not offer free health care to all New Yorkers, but will provide a primary care doctor and access to specialty care priced on a sliding scale according to patients’ income. The program will be available to anyone who does not have an affordable insurance option, de Blasio said.

New Yorkers can already get care at clinics and hospitals when they need it, and many are eligible for one or several state and federal programs, including Medicaid, which the state expanded through the Affordable Care Act. But, de Blasio noted, many aren’t eligible for those programs and many more aren’t aware of the kind of care that is available to them.

Or you know maybe medicaid, medicare, or the VA are good barometers

Thankfully I'll be out of the state by the time this shyt comes to all 5 boroughs...

I 100% support universal health care for all legal residents of NY...

Under no condition do I support my tax dollars being spent on illegals, not a single penny...

I expect a lot of backlash and there absolutely will be a tax increase because of this...
