Gov. Pedro Pierluisi claimed that the alterations to payments for services to the 640,000 Puerto Rican residents in the government’s Medicare Advantage program would amount to an $800 million…
The cuts would “further exacerbate the disparities by effectively imposing the largest federal healthcare funding cut in Puerto Rico’s history,” Pierluisi said in a scathing March 7 letter to federal Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, a copy of which was obtained by The Post.

That infuriated some critics, who note that there are so many Puerto Ricans residing in New York City that the island is affectionately called the Big Apple’s “sixth borough.” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said the update “strengthens Medicare for our seniors and Americans with disabilities.”“We are committed to ensuring private companies are holding up their end of the deal to provide quality care to beneficiaries and that payments to these companies are accurate. Together with President Biden’s Budget, this update protects Medicare for beneficiaries today and beyond 2050.
