Expert Answer: In New York, you may qualify for government medical insurance programs such as Medicaid, Child Health Plus (for your children), or the Essential Plan (for low-income adults). You can check your eligibility and apply through the NY State of Health website (nystateofhealth.ny.gov) or visit a local enrollment center. Free assistance is available to help you choose the right plan. Since you have an EAD, your eligibility may depend on your immigration status and income level.
