'Tip of the iceberg': Nearly 500,000 New Yorkers lose health insurance due to Trump cuts
Nearly 500,000 moderate-income New Yorkers will be dumped from their health insurance plans on 1 July – the first of major coverage losses expected as a result of HR 1, the Republican-led law signed almost exactly one year ago.
The law, sometimes called the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” slashed government health spending by $911bn nationally in favor of permanent tax breaks for higher-income families and border security.
“It’s an all hands on deck situation,” said Maia Dillane, senior director of strategy and implementation at the Arab-American Family Support Center (AAFSC), based in New York City, where the bulk of this summer’s coverage losses are expected.
The AAFSC is one of 20 community-based organizations working with the Community Service Society of New York to find people new health coverage.
