The legislature of Orange County, New York, has called on the state government to continue the local sharing of enhanced federal Medicaid dollars under the Affordable Care Act.

The Feb. 15 resolution from the legislature came in response to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposal to end the longstanding practice in the 2024 fiscal year and use the money instead for expanded state spending.
