Fighting for Health Insurance Coverage
New York Immigration Coalition leaders, advocates, and members fight to make health insurance coverage available to all undocumented immigrants in New York by reintroducing the Coverage for All bill in the 2023 state legislature.
Economic Benefits of Coverage for All
The Office of the New York City Comptroller has estimated the economic benefits of the proposed Coverage for All bill as it relates to individuals, families, employers, and health care providers.
The Battle for Healthcare
“Our immigrant community has been the economic engine for the state long before the pandemic. During the pandemic, we did the work that people couldn’t do or didn’t want to. We cared for people’s kids, we cooked for folks, delivered food,” said Maurad Awawdeh, the executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition.
