NYS Health Foundation on the Learning and Listening That Lead to a Multi-Funder Collaboration

The Supreme Court’s deadlocked decision last week on United States v. Texas leaves millions of immigrants at potential risk for deportation and leaves many of them shut out of health coverage.

For the New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth), it also represents a blow to our efforts to connect undocumented New Yorkers to coverage.

While many of our activities in this area can continue despite the ruling, it closes off options to expand health insurance coverage to tens of thousands more New Yorkers who would have been eligible for insurance coverage if the Supreme Court had sided with the Obama Administration.
