Syracuse, NY — Historic changes to Medicaid championed by congressional Republicans and President Trump will kick thousands of Central New Yorkers off health insurance and push more uninsured into already overcrowded local emergency rooms, experts said.
New work requirements are expected to leave more than 30,000 Central New Yorkers without insurance in the next two years. That includes more than 14,500 former Medicaid patients at Syracuse’s three hospitals, according to state and syracuse.com projections.
