They delve into the tax’s origins, modeled on a similar approach in California, and discuss how this plan could bring in a fraction of the projected $4 billion in extra federal aid that state lawmakers anticipated. With details pulled from the state’s federal waiver application, Bill and Cam explore the estimated $2.8 billion in gross revenues and the net returns of $1.4 to $1.8 billion after state costs, unraveling the financial mechanics and potential legal and policy consequences for insurers, Medicaid recipients, and New York taxpayers.
