Mayor Eric Adams scored a tremendous legal victory in the controversial battle to transport the city's retired workers to cost-cost health care plans-but almost all candidates to replace him because the mayor is already planning to stop this step in its paths.
On Wednesday, the Court of Appeal ruled that the city could convert retired people into Medicare Advantage plans – a special health care program that uses medical care benefits instead of traditional medical care – after years of fighting by retired invitation groups.
The ruling found that the retirees who filed a lawsuit for change did not argue enough that the adoption of feature plans would lead to bad care and that the assurances that the city will keep them on medical care plans that are not legally implemented.
The term Adams ended at the end of the year and started from the preliminary elections of the Democratic Party, which was determined next week.
Adams is now working as an independent in a long offer, although the Democratic Party flame holder will be far from the preferred victory in the deep blue city elections.
The financial observer of the correspondents, Bronterner, Andrew Como, alike, opposed the key to the key and specifically called for grace periods from 30 to 60 days for families to obtain another insurance after the death of the applicant and the speedy compensation process, as part of their seeds for applicants.
Each other candidate – with the exception of Jim and the Independent Den – also opposes the switch, according to the questionnaire of the Citizen Budget Committee.
While the candidate of the Socialist Socialism Mayor Zahran Mamdani was recently opposing the plan on his site on his campaign site on his campaign, he told the source of knowledge Post that he did not sign a pledge to support the retirees and did not go to the discussion hosted by the Da`wah Group for New York City.
The source continued to say that this was to prevent the loss of the DC37 Public Service Union, which supports the switch to Medicare Advantage plans.
The Mamdani campaign referred to a previous statement in 2022, where the assembly member opposed the transformation into Medicare Advantage, but he refused to comment on staying narrow in an attempt to lose support.
The referee has even angered observer candidate Justin Justin Branan.
“Our city should never be, and its city should not be retired. Not for the courts. No one will want to work in New York City again. Medicare Advantage is a fraud and switching. Enough!” Branan said.
The financial observer candidate and current head of Manhattan Boro Mark Levin did not respond to the comment, but he said in a recent discussion that he would make a decision on “the details of the plan in consultation with retirees, with the current workers, with work leaders.”
The plan was presented for the first time by former mayor Bill de Palacio in 2021, who argued that the program would lead to more than $ 600 million of annual savings by taking advantage of federal subsidies.
The mayor's office did not respond to the request for comment by the time of the press.
