A pre-pandemic Cuomo-era initiative to “carve-out” New York State’s Medicaid prescription drug benefit from a managed-care program to a fee-for-service program would gut community-based health care and other services for vulnerable New Yorkers at the worst possible time.
Alliance provides quality care management for New York’s most vulnerable residents, providing life-saving access to medication and holistic care to support the whole person. The pharmacy carve-out would be disastrous for nonprofits like Alliance and the thousands of New Yorkers we serve.
Executive Director and CEO Sharen Duke published an op-ed in the Times Union explaining the issue, calling on Governor Kathy Hochul to reverse course immediately.
