Hochul extends program offering taxpayer-funded healthcare to sex workers

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has reportedly extended a program offering taxpayer-funded healthcare to sex workers.

According to a new The New York Post piece, Hochul “quietly extended” the program that will cost taxpayers $2.5million.

“The state Health Department in 2023 awarded $1 million in public funds to two contractors as part of Hochul’s plan to help the ‘world’s oldest profession,’ but new documents reviewed by The Post show the program extending through June 2028, with $1.5 million more in costs,” the outlet reports. “Under the initiative, sex workers in NYC and the Buffalo area will continue to receive primary, sexual, behavioral, and dental care.”

State Assemblyman Michael Novakhov, a Republican, accused the governor of pandering to the far-left agenda.

“The lengths by which New York Democrats will cater to the far left has no greater example then Gov. Hochul funding healthcare for hookers to the tune of millions while actual frontline healthcare workers . . . live on food stamps,” he said, referring to EMTs who say can’t afford to survive without assistance programs.

“Instead of playing pimp, Kathy ‘Ho-Ho’ Hochul and Mayor ‘Madam’ Mamdani should consider making sure the heroes who answer 911 calls and save lives every day can afford their rent and groceries,” he added.

State Assemblyman Sam Pirozzolo, another Republican, slammed both for letting the state fall into degeneracy to win votes.

“The governor likes to say, ‘New York is open for business.’ We are open for business . . . but it’s the business of selling needles and marijuana, . . . prostitution and other business that is bad business for New York.”

Does that include Harris, or does it have to be in cash for it to count?

Democrats are crazy.
They need to think of the behaviors they ENCOURAGE. They don’t realize they encourage all bad habits, vices, crimes.
