Bob Fredericks reports in The New York Post that New York would lose $52 billion if the Graham-Cassidy health cut/tax cut bill passes, according to the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. The group released a study Sept. 21 that estimates New York would get 35 percent less federal funds under the proposal. Both New York Democratic senators are opposed to the bill; Rep. John Faso (R-Kinderhook) has said he is waiting for the Senate, and has not fully read the bill. Bob Fredericks reports in The New York Post.
