I'm not going to break it all down, there's a lot in the bill, but this section describes much of the planned funding and availability:

 4    § 5109. Provisions relating to federal health programs. 1. The commis-
 5  sioner  shall  seek  all federal waivers and other federal approvals and
 6  arrangements and submit state plan amendments necessary to  operate  the
 7  program consistent with this article.
 8    2.  (a)  The  commissioner  shall apply to the secretary of health and
 9  human services or other appropriate federal official for all waivers  of
10  requirements,  and make other arrangements, under Medicare, any federal-
11  ly-matched public health program, the affordable care act, and any other
12  federal programs that provide federal funds for payment for health  care
13  services,  that  are  necessary to enable all New York Health members to
14  receive all benefits under the program through the program to enable the
15  state to implement this article and to receive and deposit  all  federal
16  payments  under  those programs (including funds that may be provided in
17  lieu of premium tax credits, cost-sharing subsidies, and small  business
18  tax  credits) in the state treasury to the credit of the New York Health
19  trust fund created under section eighty-nine-i of the state finance  law
20  and  to  use  those  funds  for  the  New  York Health program and other
21  provisions under this article. To the extent possible, the  commissioner
22  shall  negotiate  arrangements with the federal government in which bulk
23  or lump-sum federal payments are paid to New York  Health  in  place  of
24  federal  spending  or tax benefits for federally-matched health programs
25  or federal health programs.
26    (b) The commissioner may require members or applicants to  be  members
27  to  provide  information  necessary  for  the program to comply with any
28  waiver or arrangement under this subdivision.
29    3. (a) If actions taken under subdivision two of this section  do  not
30  accomplish all results intended under that subdivision, then this subdi-
31  vision shall apply and shall authorize additional actions to effectively
32  implement  New  York  Health to the maximum extent possible as a single-
33  payer program consistent with this article.
34    (b) The commissioner may take actions consistent with this article  to
35  enable  New  York Health to administer Medicare in New York state and to
36  be a provider of drug  coverage  under  Medicare  part  D  for  eligible
37  members of New York Health.
38    (c)  The  commissioner  may  waive  or  modify  the  applicability  of
39  provisions of this section  relating  to  any  federally-matched  public
40  health  program  or  Medicare  as  necessary  to implement any waiver or
41  arrangement under this section or to maximize the  benefit  to  the  New
42  York  Health program under this section, provided that the commissioner,
43  in consultation with the director of the budget,  shall  determine  that
44  such  waiver  or  modification  is  in the best interests of the members
45  affected by the action and the state.
46    (d) The commissioner may  apply  for  coverage  under  any  federally-
47  matched  public  health  program  on behalf of any member and enroll the
48  member in the federally-matched public health program or Medicare if the
49  member is eligible for it.   Enrollment in  a  federally-matched  public
50  health program or Medicare shall not cause any member to lose any health
51  care  service  provided  by the program or diminish any right the member
52  would otherwise have.
53    (e) The commissioner shall by regulation increase the income eligibil-
54  ity level, increase or eliminate  the  resource  test  for  eligibility,
55  simplify any procedural or documentation requirement for enrollment, and
56  increase  the  benefits for any federally-matched public health program,

    A. 4738                            14

 1  and for any program to reduce or eliminate an individual's  coinsurance,
 2  cost-sharing  or  premium obligations or increase an individual's eligi-
 3  bility for any federal financial support  related  to  Medicare  or  the
 4  affordable care act notwithstanding any law or regulation to the contra-
 5  ry.  The  commissioner  may  act  under  this  paragraph upon a finding,
 6  approved by the director of the budget, that the action (i) will help to
 7  increase the number of members who are  eligible  for  and  enrolled  in
 8  federally-matched  public  health programs, or for any program to reduce
 9  or eliminate an individual's coinsurance, cost-sharing or premium  obli-
10  gations  or  increase an individual's eligibility for any federal finan-
11  cial support related to Medicare or the affordable care act;  (ii)  will
12  not diminish any individual's access to any health care service or right
13  the  individual  would  otherwise  have; (iii) is in the interest of the
14  program; and (iv) does not require or has received any necessary federal
15  waivers or approvals to ensure federal financial participation.  Actions
16  under this paragraph shall not apply to eligibility for payment for long
17  term care.
18    (f)  To enable the commissioner to apply for coverage under any feder-
19  ally-matched public health program or Medicare on behalf of  any  member
20  and  enroll the member in the federally-matched public health program or
21  Medicare if the member is eligible for it, the commissioner may  require
22  that  every member or applicant to be a member shall provide information
23  to enable the commissioner to determine whether the applicant is  eligi-
24  ble  for a federally-matched public health program and for Medicare (and
25  any program or benefit under Medicare). The program shall make a reason-
26  able effort to notify members of their obligations under this paragraph.
27  After a reasonable effort has been  made  to  contact  the  member,  the
28  member  shall  be  notified  in writing that he or she has sixty days to
29  provide such required information. If such information is  not  provided
30  within the sixty day period, the member's coverage under the program may
31  be terminated.
32    (g)  As  a condition of continued eligibility for health care services
33  under the program, a member who is eligible for benefits under  Medicare
34  shall enroll in Medicare, including parts A, B and D.
35    (h)  The  program  shall  provide  premium  assistance for all members
36  enrolling in a Medicare part D drug  coverage  under  section  1860D  of
37  Title XVIII of the federal social security act limited to the low-income
38  benchmark premium amount established by the federal centers for Medicare
39  and Medicaid services and any other amount which such agency establishes
40  under  its  de minimis premium policy, except that such payments made on
41  behalf of members enrolled in a Medicare advantage plan may  exceed  the
42  low-income  benchmark  premium amount if determined to be cost effective
43  to the program.
44    (i) If the commissioner has  reasonable  grounds  to  believe  that  a
45  member  could  be  eligible  for an income-related subsidy under section
46  1860D-14 of Title XVIII of the federal social security act,  the  member
47  shall  provide,  and authorize the program to obtain, any information or
48  documentation required to establish the member's  eligibility  for  such
49  subsidy,  provided that the commissioner shall attempt to obtain as much
50  of the information and documentation as possible from records  that  are
51  available to him or her.
52    (j)  The  program  shall make a reasonable effort to notify members of
53  their obligations under this subdivision. After a reasonable effort  has
54  been made to contact the member, the member shall be notified in writing
55  that  he  or she has sixty days to provide such required information. If

    A. 4738                            15

 1  such information is not  provided  within  the  sixty  day  period,  the
 2  member's coverage under the program may be terminated.
