Cuomo takes heat over 'ageist' nursing home comment | News, Sports, Jobs

CNHI
ALBANY — An influential Democratic lawmaker scolded Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday for using “ageist language” when he contended it made little difference whether the deaths of elderly people from COVID-19 infections were counted as taking place in nursing homes or hospitals.
Urging the governor to get sensitivity training, Assemblyman Ron Kim, D-Queens, the chairman of the Assembly Committee on Aging, made the remark as he questioned a Cuomo appointee at a legislative hearing on the proposed state budget.
“Moving forward, I believe every commissioner and public officer in the state of New York, including the governor, should receive mandatory training on ageism and ageist language,” said Kim, who has been one of New York’s most outspoken Democrats in the push for stronger protections for nursing home patients during the pandemic.
