RealJournalismMichael Blake is running for #NY15 next year. He supports #MedicareForAll. He says we should never have to decide between meals and healthcare. #NewYork
Charles Gaba ✡️According to the press release, they expect ~107,000 residents of #NY15 alone to lose healthcare coverage due to the #BigUglyBill, and that's just via Medicaid & the Essential Plan. Several thousand ACA exchange enrollees will also be priced out of coverage.
That's over 15% of the total population.
Charles Gaba🚨 #NEWYORK: Holy crap. I had estimated that a whopping 64% of the total population of #NY15 was enrolled in Medicaid.
It turns out I was wrong: It's actually over *70%.*

I'm also posting #NY15, Ritchie Torres' district, as it's the poorest Congressional district (per capita) in the country.
~14,000 ACA exchange enrollees are in danger.
~96,000 BHP enrollees* are in danger.
~157,000 Medicaid expansion enrollees are in danger.
*(aka Essential Plan)
I’ve added a special note to #NY15 (Ritchie Torres’ district), the poorest House district in the country, where the number of residents with employer-based coverage appears to be so low it falls below the margin of error of my estimates for the other categories.
#NY15 Ritchie Torres (D)
@ritchietorres.bsky.social
~14% of total population in #ACA QHPs/BHPs
👀 ~67% of total population in #Medicaid/CHIP
~16% of total population in #Medicare
Ironically, the House district w/the *2nd* highest % of its total population enrolled in ACA coverage is the deep blue #NY15 (Ritchie Torres), where 39% of the population has either ACA exchange plans, ACA BHP coverage or ACA Medicaid Expansion coverage.
