Dan Freedman is reporting for Hearst Newspapers a new study Tue., Oct. 13, concluded that more than half of New Yorkers without health insurance are not taking advantage of the state's expanded Medicaid program and the subsidies available under the Affordable Care Act. The nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation found that of the 1.4 million people in New York who now lack health insurance, the majority qualify for either enlarged Medicaid or could get premium subsidies via tax credits. The remainder are either undocumented immigrants or not qualified to have insurance under the program, have not signed up for insurance from employers or make too much money to receive subsidies. The New York figures parallel the report's national snapshot, which showed that of more than 30 million non-elderly people without health insurance, close to 16 million also do not take advantage of expanded Medicaid or ACA marketplace subsidies. The lead author of the report said she is uncertain why potential enrollees are not taking advantage of the health care coverage to which they are entitled. The study comes just weeks before the New York marketplace's third open enrollment period begins on Nov. 1. Read the full story in the Times Union.
