Bill would require Medicaid recipients to use public transit
A New York Senate bill backed by Sen. John DeFrancisco would require Medicaid recipients to use public transportation for medical appointments when possible to cut costs. The measure, opposed by NYC senators and some disability groups, would let counties choose the most cost effective transit option and is projected to save about 3 million dollars annually.
