Driven by federal mandates, the state is reverting to an older version of the plan, forcing many, including Brooklyn resident Olivia Killingsworth, to choose between losing coverage or facing crippling costs. Olivia, who needs specialized care for a rare genetic condition, risks being forced to work less to stay covered—or pay thousands for a marketplace plan. Advocates warn this was avoidable, and the fallout could push vulnerable New Yorkers deeper into crisis as healthcare access tightens under political and financial pressure.
