Advocates for New York City retirees are preparing to rally at City Hall on Tuesday to push for a local law that would preserve the healthcare they and their families depend on. The rally is part of ongoing efforts to stop Mayor Eric Adams’ attempts to switch the city’s quarter-million retired municipal workers to a private Medicare Advantage plan.
What makes this protest interesting is that it will occur a day after Adams’ 65th birthday, Sept. 1. He is now the general age when most Americans enroll in Medicare, the country’s federal health insurance program.
