Ms. Hochuls priorities include rebuilding a health care work force that has been exhausted and depleted by the pandemic.
Her proposals did not directly address the short-term crisis at hospitals caused by the Omicron wave sweeping the state, but instead focused on long-term suggestions to improve health care.
She proposed spending more than $4 billion to support wages and bonuses to increase the number of health care workers in the state by 20 percent over the next five years. That would include up to $3,000 in bonuses for all full-time health care workers who remain in their positions for a year, and $2 billion in spending on health care capital infrastructure and improved lab capacity.
The governor also wants to offer free tuition to students who are preparing to work in high-demand health occupations and to provide stipends to make up for lost income while they are in school. Doctors could receive loan forgiveness up to $120,000 if they work in underserved areas for three years. She also wants to start a Nurses Across N.Y. program to place nurses in underserved areas.
To help close gaps that have resulted in roughly one million people in the state without health care, she wants to eliminate a $9-per-child monthly premium to participate in the states childrens health insurance program, which was causing some families to drop out.
