BILL NUMBER:S1855 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the insurance law, in relation to funding of the Brooklyn healthworks pilot program and upstate healthworks pilot program PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Increase funding available for the Brooklyn Healthworks pilot program and the Upstate Healthworks pilot program. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Subsection (t) of section 4327 of the insurance law is amended. JUSTIFICATION: Thanks to the legislation passed in 2006 which provides Healthworks with a steady stream of subsidy funding through the Healthy New York Program, enrollment has expanded, However, because of the current subsidy rates (2006 rates), the program cannot meet the demand of the number of enrollees and will have no choice but, to limit the number of enrollees or start turning away new businesses, unless additional subsidy is secured.
