A coalition of child advocacy groups have sent a letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul calling for the state to follow the lead of Washington and Oregon and keep continuous health insurance coverage for children under the age of 6.
The coalition said the continuation of coverage will “reap many benefits for our state.”
Kate Breslin, president and CEO of the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, and Queens Democratic Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas joined Capital Tonight to discuss legislation that would continue the health insurance coverage for children under six years old.
