We have important information about the expanded Essential Plan in New York for your constituents!

Starting April 1, coverage is extended to New Yorkers with incomes up to 250% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). At MetroPlus we are excited to continue providing high-quality affordable healthcare to more New Yorkers. 

By extending coverage, an additional 100,000 New Yorkers – many of which are your constituents – will have access to high-quality, affordable health insurance. The fact that it comes with a zero-cost monthly premium is truly commendable.

We want your constituents to know about this change and to celebrate this expansion that will mean fewer New Yorkers will have to make difficult decisions around making ends meet.  To help get the word out, we’ve prepared social media materials for you to easily share with your constituents.
