New Yorkers for Accessible Health Coverage

Grant Date: 02.17.2010
Amount: $50,000

People with serious illness and disabilities—who rely heavily on their health insurance, and often need to see out-of-network specialists—are particularly concerned about how certain provisions of federal health reform will have an impact on the affordability and availability of coverage that addresses their specific needs.  This grant will support the development of several policy briefs identifying and analyzing choices New York will have regarding implementation of reform, as well as a consumer guide comparing benefit packages and other coverage options for people with significant health care service needs.
