New York City experiments with health care for all
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio made national headlines this week when he announced a plan to spend $100 million a year to provide health care for 600,000 uninsured, low-income and undocumented immigrant New Yorkers. But the initiative raises more questions than answers: Just how will the plan work, and would that sum -- which comes out to a modest $170 per person -- really be enough to pay for what sounds like a massive increase in benefits? Details during the announcement on national TV, then later at a news conference at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx, were sparse. But as Elisabeth Benjamin, vice president of health initiatives at New York City's Community Service Society, pointed out, New York City may have a head start when it comes to providing health care for low-income and undocumented residents that makes the plan more feasible than it would seem otherwise.That's because the plan, called NYC Care, builds on the city's existing public-option health insurance program called … [Read more...] about New York City experiments with health care for all

The Goal in Rounding Up New York City’s 250 Wild Turkeys: No Leftovers
Sections SEARCH Skip to content Skip to site index New York Subscribe Log In Log In Today’s Paper New York | The Goal in Rounding Up New York City’s 250 Wild Turkeys: No Leftovers Supported by ByCorey Kilgannon and Nate Schweber Nov. 21, 2018 Of all the complications of living in New York City, you might not imagine wild turkeys making the list. But for years, growing flocks of them have held sway in a section of Staten Island where every day is turkey day. While most Americans wrestle with a turkey only on Thanksgiving — brining, basting and broiling a frozen version of the species — residents here tangle with them year-round: on lawns, wandering the streets, roosting on parked cars. But soon Staten Island’s wild turkeys will roam here no more. They, however, will meet a far more pleasant fate than their dining-table-bound counterparts.
