On March 1, the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Treasury approved New York’s section 1332 waiver that expands affordable coverage to additional groups of New Yorkers. The waiver essentially suspends New York’s Basic Health Program (the Essential Plan, or EP) and transitions those enrollees and some other eligibility groups into an affordable coverage program that mirrors the Essential Plan coverage. To ensure consumer recognition, the new coverage program is also called the Essential Plan (EP 2.0 for our purposes.) The waiver will cover 1.5 million people, extend affordable coverage to more than 100,000 people, and draw down nearly $66 billion in federal funds for the state.
