Some 900,000 New Yorkers are uninsured yet eligible for public health insurance coverage. If they meet the qualifications, why aren’t they enrolled? Some may not know about the program. Others don’t know they are eligible. Still others are reluctant to accept public benefits, or have difficulty completing the enrollment paperwork. An additional 1.3 million State residents are uninsured, but do not qualify for public health insurance. The New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth) is committed to reducing the percentage of uninsured residents in New York State through public and private initiatives.
