It's both cruel & ignorant for you to say 'get a license' knowing full well there's a waitlist of 20,309 people

New York State can offer healthcare coverage for low-income immigrants without spending a single state dollar. The #Coverage4All bill would make affordable health insurance accessible to low-income immigrant New Yorkers, regardless of immigration status. empirereportnewyork.com/new-york-state…

NY tenants: Without looking it up, do you know what % of HUD's fair market rent you pay, when your building was built, and how many units are in your landlord's portfolio?
