New York families need relief. Meaningful, refundable tax credits for families can provide that relief, enabling families to meet immediate needs and deliver long-term benefits. #NYWFTC

Thank you @senatorbrouk for taking up this important issue! Let's make sure NY is the next state to provide continuous coverage from birth to age 6!
NYS Senator Samra Brouk@SenatorBrouk
Today, I joined parents, advocates, & experts in Albany to advocate for continuous healthcare coverage for our youngest NYers to be included in the executive budget. My bill (S7747) w/ @votejgr aims to ensure coverage for children ages 0-6 w/o the need for yearly re-enrollment.

"Child care isn’t a money-making enterprise and we can’t rely on parents to fund the entire system: it is a public good and requires investment at all levels."

If the #ChildTaxCredit expansion had been renewed, 3 million fewer children would have been in poverty in 2022.
Instead, the number of children in poverty more than doubled, from 4 million in 2021 to 9 million in 2022: #if-child-tax-credit-expansion-cbpp-anchor" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cbpp.org/blog/analyzing…

Proud to sign legislation declaring Lunar New Year an official school holiday in New York!
This is an important step in recognizing the importance of New York’s AAPI community and the rich diversity that makes our state so great.

Child poverty is a choice many legislators at every level of government and in every political party choose every day. It’s time they do better or we have to vote them out. Our kids deserve better.

Child poverty: two words that should never go together. Yet, child poverty in New York State exceeds the national rate, as it has for more than a decade. There are actions to take: this is the year for NY’s leaders to make things better. loom.ly/zh8s0cU #nyendchildpoverty

The wounds for gun violence survivors extends far beyond the gunshot wounds we treat: “We discharge them from the hospital really half-healed, because we don’t address all of the social and emotional aspects of having been shot.” cnn.com/2023/08/28/hea…

The first three years of a child’s life are a critical, formative period that can lay the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning and the best outcomes possible throughout their lives. loom.ly/aZBevfo #RaisingNY

Long article but a very worthwhile read.
Bottom line: Millions of people, including many children, have lost Medicaid. Most still qualify for coverage.
They lose medication, hospital coverage and their doctors.
This is NOT ok. We need to fix it.

Why are #CashAssistance programs like #TANF so important?
Providing $ to families has immediate positive impacts: it helps folks pay rent/utilities, put food on the table, & purchase the basics. Research has also shown these benefits for children last long into adulthood.

This is scary, folks.
85% of patients losing Medicaid in Arkansas were procedural denials. That means they still qualified for Medicaid. Many were children.
We simply must do better. In every state.

Joan Alker@JoanAlker1
NEW: Arkansas has just released data on Medicaid terminations for 1st 2 months. 40% losing coverage are kids - very big 18% parents 39% expansion group A whopping 85% are procedural denials. This is exactly what we have feared.😢
