Cuomo Suggests Cutting $50M from New York City's Medicaid Funds

By Dan Goldberg

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s proposed budget would cut $50 million in Medicaid funding from New York City unless the de Blasio administration comes up with a plan in the next five months to receive $100 million more in federal Medicaid dollars for preschool and school supportive health services.

According to the budget, the city has until June 30 to come up with a plan, which must be approved the state’s health commissioner and the incoming Trump administration.

The ambitious plan, and even more ambitious timeline, must explain to the commissioner’s satisfaction how the city will identify preschool and school-aged children who are receiving preschool and school supportive health services, and how the plan will generate $100 million in savings, according to Cuomo's budget, which was released Tuesday.
