The ultimate goal of this legislation is to bring Medicaid coverage more
in line with private health insurance coverage. The costs associated
with "optional" services, those allowed for but not required by the
federal government but required by New York State, have increased
substantially, causing fiscal strife for many of the state's counties.
These costs are often passed along to the citizens of the state through
higher property taxes or other tax increases. This legislation in no way
suggests that monetary concerns outweigh the care of individuals. Howev-
er, it is unfair and inappropriate to ask working families to pay for
services covered under "optional" Medicaid coverage that they themselves
may not be able to afford or obtain under their own private health
