ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo renewed his call for federal action to help New York during the coronavirus pandemic on Thursday, arguing that congressional aid, including enhanced Medicaid funding, has fallen woefully short.in the U.S. Senate, Cuomo urged Congress to approve federal legislation that stabilizes state and local governments.“To our federal representatives … this is no time for politics.
Cuomo, who has criticized Schumer’s handling of federal coronavirus aid, argued that previous funding packages did not recognize New York’s position as the epicenter of the Covid-19 outbreak and fell short of projections. He took particular issue with enhanced Federal Medicaid Assistance Percentage, or FMAP, dollars approved last month — funding which the governor repeatedly criticized while finalizing his fiscal year 2021 budget.
“They passed legislation that was enacted, we were told would bring $6 billion to health care. When we did our state budget a couple of weeks ago, we believed what they said, and thought we were looking at $6 billion in health care funding,” he said. “Turns out when we actually read the language it was actually about $1.3 billion for the state of New York … and the funding disqualified one-third of New York’s Medicaid recipients, which nobody said.
