Healthcare Increases and the Effect on Rockland

Many in our district are at risk of losing their health coverage because Congress failed to act in time. Thousands of people in Rockland County will lose their health insurance this year unless Congressional Republicans vote to preserve vitally needed federal support for working and middle class families. But it doesn’t have to be this way. In 2009, I was working for former Congressman Eliot Engel while Congress and the country were in the midst of a major national debate about healthcare and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that President Obama was championing to reduce costs and improve access to health insurance. I still remember the many conversations I had with local residents who were desperate to see the ACA pass so that they could finally afford to get health insurance. These were hard working people who were trying to do everything right but whether because they had a pre-existing condition, or worked at a job that didn’t provide insurance, or simply didn’t earn quite enough to afford the exorbitant cost of premiums, they were left uninsured, one medical emergency or unexpected illness away from financial ruin.

Higher life expectancy tops 15 health wins in New York

This article originally appeared at Your Local Epidemiologist New York . Sign up for the YLE NY newsletter here . Public health, explained: Sign up to receive Healthbeat’s free New York City newsletter here . If you know someone who works in health, chances are they banged their head against a wall at least once in 2025 — myself included. The past year brought the largest measles outbreak in decades and a tidal wave of false information on vaccines, including from the highest levels of government. Just days into 2026, the Department of Health and Human Services overhauled the recommended childhood vaccine schedule — not because of new science, but because of politics. To put it simply, we’ve been through a health gauntlet. But, despite the chaos, there’s a lot to still celebrate. Across New York, health workers, policymakers, and supporters kept showing up, day in and day out, working toward a healthier New York, regardless of what was said on the news. That is worth celebrating. I’ve put together a few milestones from the past year. It’s not exhaustive (there’s always important work happening behind the scenes that doesn’t make headlines), but here’s a roundup of some of the
