“No other city or state
provides these comprehensive
services to all
residents,” she added.
The mayor said,
thanks to the Affordable
Care Act, eight million
New Yorkers now have
health insurance, adding
that the uninsured rate is
about nearly half of what
it was in 2013.
In the last two years,
he said New York City’s
Public Engagement Unit
coordinated signing up
more than 130,000 New
Yorkers for plans through
the exchanges created by
the law.
But de Blasio said
about 600,000 New Yorkers,
including many
Caribbean immigrants,
remain without insurance,
“because they do
not or cannot enroll.”
Through this new initiative,
the mayor said
New York City will create
a “bigger, better, more
comprehensive program
for guaranteed health
care.”
He said the city aims
to better connect people
to more effective and
affordable health care in
one of two ways.
Through NYC Care, the
mayor said anyone will
be able to access comprehensive
care across
NYC Health + Hospitals’
more than 70-plus locations,
“once the program
is fully ramped up.”
“NYC Care is open
to anyone who does not
have an affordable insurance
option and will be
priced on a sliding scale,
to ensure affordability,”
the mayor said. “NYC
Care will provide a primary
care doctor and
will provide access to
specialty care, prescription
drugs, mental health
services, hospitalization,
and more.”
Through NYC’s Public
Option, de Blasio said the
city will “double down on
efforts to boost enrollment
in MetroPlus.

includes NYC Health +

and 70 clinics.
“MetroPlus serves
as an affordable, quality
option for people on
Medicaid, Medicare, and
those purchasing insurance
on the exchange,” de
Blasio said.
“The city is committed
to strengthening Metro-
Plus and connecting more
independent workers, city
vendors and city workers
to that option.”
De Blasio said the city
will also improve the
quality of the MetroPlus
customer experience
through improved access
to clinical care, mental
health services, and wellness
rewards for healthy
behavior.
The mayor said the city
is taking an “unprecedented
approach” to health
care services by “tackling
mental and physical
issues holistically.”
