"The passage of H.R. 1 will result in sweeping losses of coverage, with an estimated 1 million New Yorkers projected to lose Medicaid eligibility."

Recent federal changes to Medicaid and Medicare are destabilizing healthcare for New York's Asian-American community. An estimated 1 million New Yorkers may lose Medicaid eligibility, disproportionately affecting low-income immigrants and communities of color. CAIPA, a network of over 1,400 providers, serves more than 500,000 patients, with nearly 90 percent relying on government programs. The new rules could lead to a 20 percent loss of coverage among CAIPA patients, with financial impacts on independent practices projected to reach approximately $135 million.
