New York, NY – On January 9, 2023 NYC Councilmember Carmen De La Rosa, Chair of the Committee on Civil Service and Labor, held a public hearing about the proposed Administrative Code 126 change at the Council Chambers in New York City Hall.
The City has an obligation to cover retirees’ health insurance costs, and SeniorCare has done it well, without premiums, co-pays, or prior authorizations.
The City Council will vote on a proposed Administrative Code change that breaks this compact. The code change also opens a door to future changes to the quality or cost of active employee health insurance.
The PSC continues to push for an alternative solution to the problem of rising health care costs, and the City Council needs to hear that the proposal is worth supporting.
PSC members testified and to came out to City Hall to attend the hearing and urge the NYC Council to protect our healthcare!
