New York's Medicaid program is growing faster than it has in six years, according to data from the Department of Health. A quarter of a million new people enrolled in the safety-net health plan from February to May.
There were 260,672 more individuals in the program in May than there were in February. The 4.35% growth rate is the fastest rise since the first four months of 2014 when open enrollment in the Affordable Care Act took full effect.
