"The recent announcement of Speaker Adrienne Adams attempting to pull a last-minute change in the City Council Rules screams of an eleventh-hour power grab to harm people who didn't support her or curry favor for the ones who did. These changes, if made, would block bills like Intro 1096 to protect NYC Retirees' earned and vested Medicare benefits and prevent them from being forced into medical debt because of decisions made by Mayor Eric Adams and Renee Campion of the Mayor's Office of Labor Relations."
"We have been trying to protect our earned Medicare benefits for over 4 years and stop predatory costs being charged to us, putting us into medical debt. Intro 1096 should have been something the speaker supported, not just because she will be eligible for Medicare in December, but because Medicare was one of the greatest Civil Rights Achievements ever. She has not taken a stand on this, and a reminder, Medicare is also a Democratic party platform."
Adrienne Adams attempted a last-minute change to City Council rules that could block bills such as Intro 1096 designed to protect NYC retirees' earned and vested Medicare benefits. The rule change could prevent protections against forced enrollment in Medicare Advantage, predatory costs, and resulting medical debt tied to decisions by Mayor Eric Adams and Renee Campion. The change could also block Ryder's Law to protect Central Park horses. Critics link the move to political favors, including alleged gratitude to DC37's Henry Garrido for helping secure the position. Concerns include wrongful delays and denials of care under Medicare Advantage and erosion of Medicare protections.
