Description

New York State’s highest court issued a new ruling on Tuesday morning that could upend the way New York City collects billions in property taxes each year after a coalition of homeowners and real estate industry groups claimed the property tax rates for rental buildings and small homes were far higher in lower income neighborhoods. Meanwhile, a coalition of progressive organizations in the city are issuing a slate of proposals about housing and work permits for migrants to policy makers. Plus, recently, thousands of patients at Mount Sinai Health System have been forced to look for new health care providers after Mount Sinai ended its contract with UnitedHealthcare at the end of 2023. Now another large hospital network, New York Presbyterian, is in a dispute with Aetna. If they don't agree on a new contract by the end of March, thousands more patients could lose access to their doctors. WNYC’s Tiffany Hanssen speaks with health reporter Caroline Lewis to explain these disputes.
