Couple seeks Medicaid buy-in amid disability and income limits
Van der Veer and English, a disabled duo from New York, argue a proposed Medicaid buy-in bill would help them and about 50,000 residents by allowing higher earnings. The couple, with Vander Veer's Syracuse disability degree and English's Cornell cooperative extension job, would exceed the current $10,800 cap and lose full-time work benefits. They plan to marry June 16, 1999, after meeting online and planning an apartment shared since 1998, as supporters push for budget-linked reform amid a delayed 103 day bill deadline.
