Loss of Low-Cost Health Coverage in Ulster County
Thousands of Ulster County residents are at risk of losing their health insurance due to New York State's plan to roll back the Essential Plan.
The Essential Plan provides low-cost coverage to low-income adults who do not qualify for Medicaid.
- Starting in 2026, New York plans to reduce eligibility from 250% to 200% of the federal poverty level.
- An estimated 450,000 people statewide may be removed from the Essential Plan.
The Essential Plan has been a safety net for people earning just enough to miss out on Medicaid but not enough to afford private insurance.
