Municipal retirees expressed disappointment after the Court of Appeals reversed a prior decision safeguarding their traditional Medicare plans. Marianne Pizzitola, president of the NYC Organization of Public Service Retirees, argued that the ruling undermines retirees' healthcare rights, pushing them toward the Project 2025 default plan. She emphasized that placing healthcare protections in law is a responsibility of the City Council and the Mayor, calling for immediate action by future leaders to ensure that retirees maintain their Medicare benefits.
"the solution to protecting seniors' healthcare has always been with the City Council and the Mayor. The next Council and Mayor need to do the right thing and codify protections for seniors in City law."
"today's ruling allows the city to force retirees into the default plan of Project 2025."
