YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAngeles Solis, lead organizer at Make the Road New York, says that while New York Governor Andrew Cuomo enjoys momentary celebrity from leading an aggressive response to the spread of COVID-19 in the state, his work off camera contradicts his public displays of leadership. He has led the charge on cutting funding to Medicaid and has withdrawn support to public hospitals that disproportionately tend to the needs of the state's most vulnerable residents. "Behind the scenes, the budget has hurt our communities," she says. "It has made cuts to Medicaid. It has failed to tax the rich and billionaires in our state."
