With the delay, there is no need for the reimbursement fund at this time, said Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, chair of the health committee. The governor proposed no delay, so two years is a reasonably good negotiated outcome.
Gottfried, however, recognized that 340B-covered entities still require assistance in providing services to their communities as the two years pass. I will continue to work on a mechanism to get the significant benefits of the carve out while still protecting the 340B providers and HIV special-needs plans, he said. While we would have preferred that the pharmacy benefit carve out be eliminated altogether, we are extremely grateful to our state legislators who fought hard for a delay because they understand the real-world harm it would have caused our patients, said Brian McIndoe, president and CEO of Ryan Health. The health center serves 50,000 members annually in the city nearly 90% of them are low income.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo may have violated state ethics laws, according to published reports, that he used his staff to help him write a book on how he managed the COVID-19 pandemic, and that he gave his family and politically connected associates priority access to coronavirus tests.
But the state’s ethics commission, which has the power to investigate the allegations, has a poor track record investigating claims of corruption.

Reports in the New York Times, Washington Post and Albany Times Union said Cuomo used State Police and a top health department epidemiologist to provide coronavirus tests last spring to his family, including his brother, CNN host Chris Cuomo, who became ill with the virus; his mother, Matilda Cuomo; and one of his sisters. At the time, testing resources were extremely limited and thousands of New Yorkers ill or dying from the virus had no access to testing.
