New York disability-rights advocates are calling for the age cap on the state's Medicaid Buy In Program to be raised or eliminated.
The program is designed for people with disabilities who work and earn more than would be allowable to qualify for regular Medicaid. This ensures people with disabilities won't be at risk of losing vital healthcare coverage, while still earning some income.
The age cap of 65 could cause people to lose coverage they'd need to to get ready for the day.
