CPHS Raising The Voices Of The People
This month my attention is on the attempts to repeal
Obama care and take the rights to health-care away from many.
The great efforts of the Commission on the Public Health which is a citywide heath care advocacy for everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, language spoken, sexual or gender identity, disability, immigration status, diagnosis, or ability to pay.
Protecting the Safety-Net
This legislation provided a fair and rational method to distribute funding based upon the actual percentage of Medicaid and Uninsured patients served. Sadly, the Governor failed to sign this milestone legislation. However, The states new $153.1 billion budget provides $20 million over two years to enhance safety net to hospitals, a new category of hospitals that serve low-income New Yorkers. To meet the new criteria, hospitals must show that in any of the last three years at least 50 percent of their patients were uninsured or on medicaid, at least 40 percent of inpatient discharges were billed to medicaid and no more than ,25 percent of patients had commercial insurance.
Building Capacity for Communities to understand their Rights & Options to Care
Working with New York Immigration Coalition for Asian American Children and Families, Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies and Community Service Society, successfully won a little over a million dollars for ACCESS HEALTH NYC. This initiative provides education, outreach, and assistance to all New Yorkers about how to access health care and know their rights. CPHS is drafting the community friendly educational materials. There has been 5,926 individuals reached through workshops and events by 13 community based organizations and FQHC's that were awarded funds.
They had a successful Advocacy day with serveral people people and organizations participating In meeting with City Council.
Protecting Medicaid
In response to fear around cuts to medicaid by the federal government, repeal of the ACA, and defending of Planned Parenthood, they formed a coalition to defend Medicaid. Judy Wessler and Mary Li on behalf of CPHS has been convening coalition meeting to 20 organizations. On April 6, 2017, over 100 people attending a forum about learning what the dangers are with the Republican attack on our health care and taking action together.
