New York families need relief. Meaningful, refundable tax credits for families can provide that relief, enabling families to meet immediate needs and deliver long-term benefits. #NYWFTC
Thank you @senatorbrouk for taking up this important issue! Let's make sure NY is the next state to provide continuous coverage from birth to age 6!
Today, I joined parents, advocates, & experts in Albany to advocate for continuous healthcare coverage for our youngest NYers to be included in the executive budget. My bill (S7747) w/ @votejgr aims to ensure coverage for children ages 0-6 w/o the need for yearly re-enrollment.
If we do not raise our voices for children in our state, these bill won't pass. Call the NYS Governor's office. Let them know how important these measures are for children in NYS. RT @NYSAAPCH3 @NY1AAP @RobinHoodNYC @SchuylerCenter @leotrasande @somedocs @DocsForKids @DocsForTots
Just a few days left. Call the NYS Governor's office & express support for these @NYSAAPCH2 @NYSAAPCH3 @NY1AAP -supported bills. Don't be shy. RT @eveamk @DrSaraSiddiqui1 @SteveGoldstei10 @DocEMurray @DrSteveCook @jayasreenairneo @crmartin90 @DrVSalcedo @DrWarrenSeigel

Local elections matter. Proud to support @AmerAcadPeds member, @NYSAAPCH2 officer & friend Dr. Eve Krief @eveamk in her run for Suffolk County Legislature. Want more pediatricians in office? Check out her website rb.gy/ocmol RT @NYSAAPCH3 @NY1AAP @AnnieAndrewsMD
If the #ChildTaxCredit expansion had been renewed, 3 million fewer children would have been in poverty in 2022. Instead, the number of children in poverty more than doubled, from 4 million in 2021 to 9 million in 2022: cbpp.org/blog/analyzing…
5.6 MILLION Medicaid recipients disenrolled. >70% for procedural reasons. 1.1 million children have lost coverage, per @KFF The 1 gift of #COVID19 was US policy to prevent loss of public insurance. We can't go backwards. RT @NYSAAPCH2 @NYSAAPCH3 @NY1AAP @council_policy @eveamk
Proud to sign legislation declaring Lunar New Year an official school holiday in New York! This is an important step in recognizing the importance of New York’s AAPI community and the rich diversity that makes our state so great.
Child poverty is a choice many legislators at every level of government and in every political party choose every day. It’s time they do better or we have to vote them out. Our kids deserve better.
Child poverty: two words that should never go together. Yet, child poverty in New York State exceeds the national rate, as it has for more than a decade. There are actions to take: this is the year for NY’s leaders to make things better. loom.ly/zh8s0cU #nyendchildpoverty

The wounds for gun violence survivors extends far beyond the gunshot wounds we treat: “We discharge them from the hospital really half-healed, because we don’t address all of the social and emotional aspects of having been shot.” cnn.com/2023/08/28/hea…
The first three years of a child’s life are a critical, formative period that can lay the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning and the best outcomes possible throughout their lives. loom.ly/aZBevfo #RaisingNY
Long article but a very worthwhile read. Bottom line: Millions of people, including many children, have lost Medicaid. Most still qualify for coverage. They lose medication, hospital coverage and their doctors. This is NOT ok. We need to fix it. washingtonpost.com/health/2023/07…
Dear NY Pediatricians. THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE LAST CHANCE you have to get this bill passed. Call @CarlHeastie & let him know we need to put G6PD screening in the NBS program. RT @AAPneonatal @NYSAAPCH2 @NYSAAPCH3 @NY1AAP @MarchOfDimesNY @NYSPerinatal @WomenNeo @NeoTECaN

Why are #CashAssistance programs like #TANF so important? Providing $ to families has immediate positive impacts: it helps folks pay rent/utilities, put food on the table, & purchase the basics. Research has also shown these benefits for children last long into adulthood. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Join us for virtual town hall with @AmyPaulin as pediatricians from @NY1AAP @NYSAAPCH2 and @NYSAAPCH3 voice concerns about child health issues. #VoteKids
A great webinar to better understand the role schools can play in supporting children, from @DrSaraSiddiqui1 -elected school board member. RT @kidnyhealth @DrSteveCook @DocEMurray @dctrjo @DocsForKids @runhack @LBHandwerkerMD @AAPNews @TXPeds @OHPediatricians @WIAAP @FloridaAAP

This is scary, folks. 85% of patients losing Medicaid in Arkansas were procedural denials. That means they still qualified for Medicaid. Many were children. We simply must do better. In every state. #tweetiatrician
NEW: Arkansas has just released data on Medicaid terminations for 1st 2 months. 40% losing coverage are kids - very big 18% parents 39% expansion group A whopping 85% are procedural denials. This is exactly what we have feared.😢
