NEW YORK (NEWS10) – New York Attorney General Letitia James led a coalition of 13 state attorneys general to urge Congress to arrange funding and coverage protections to guarantee all United States residents are able to obtain a COVID-19 vaccine at no cost. Black, Latino, Native Americans, and senior communities are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, and are also more likely to be on Medicare, Medicaid, or uninsured.
In the joint letter, the coalition calls on Congress to create an interim rule providing the vaccine to Medicare recipients at no cost, to properly fund programs for the uninsured to cover administrative fees, and to increase financial support for Medicaid.
