This tracker is a reference tool to show which legislators have demonstrated commitment to expanding health coverage to undocumented New Yorkers.

Support for the Coverage4All Target Bills in 2022 is shown in the following ways:
1) whether elected officials are co-sponsoring the 2021 Coverage4All priority bill for low-income undocumented NYers who have had COVID-19 (A1585/S2549) and the broader coverage bill for all low-income undocumented adults (A880/S1572)
2) whether they co-sponsored immigrant health coverage bills supported by Coverage4All in previous Legislative sessions, including the 2019-2020 TPS coverage protection bill and/or 2018 Child Health Plus Expansion bill to cover young adults.

We encourage you to use this tracker to see if your elected officials have cosponsored the 2022 Coverage4All priority bills, highlighted in yellow in Tab 2 and Tab 3. If they haven't, we encourage you to contact them and push them to become immigrant healthcare champions by co-sponsoring the priority Essential Plan bills in 2022 (A880/S1572))! If they have supported previous Coverage4All bills, remind them of this when you contact them and tell them to co-sponsor the Coverage4All Essential Plan bills in 2022! If they say YES, ask them to make public statements in support of Coverage4All and the need for health coverage for undocumented New Yorkers during this pandemic. Let us know how these conversations go!

About Coverage4All: a campaign to expand coverage to all New Yorkers. The campaign is a coalition of community members, community organizations, health care providers, legal service providers, and labor, immigrant, and health care consumer advocates.
