New York, NY – New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, joined by Dr. George Liu, President and CEO of CAIPA and founder of the Asian Diabetic Center, held a press conference to announce significant healthcare reforms that have taken effect in 2025, including New York’s groundbreaking law banning insulin co-pays for state-regulated insurance plans and the introduction of a 20-hour paid prenatal leave policy.

Dr. Liu, one of New York’s leading endocrinologists, attended the press conference to show support for these transformative policies. He pointed out that these measures represent a meaningful step toward improving healthcare affordability and accessibility, especially for vulnerable communities. 
Currently, approximately 1.8 million New Yorkers are living with diabetes. The elimination of insulin co-pays will save eligible individuals up to $1,200 annually. Patients receiving insulin through Medicare will not be affected, as their costs remain capped at $35 per month under federal provisions.

Assemblymember and pharmacist John McDonald III described the policy as a “huge win for patients,” addressing the long-standing problem of escalating insulin costs. “This measure removes a significant barrier for patients, making life-saving medication more accessible and affordable,” McDonald said, as reported by Spectrum Local News. 
Mrs. Lee, a six-month pregnant woman working for minimum wage and recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes, shared her relief. “State estimates suggest I will save around $2,500 annually, which will make a big difference for my family,” she said.  
“The new year has arrived — and so have three major new policies that will make a difference in the lives of working people,” Governor Hochul said. “The cost of living is just too damn high, so I’m doing everything in my power to make New York more affordable for families.”
