New Yorkers are set to keep paying for prostitutes’ STD treatments and birth control.
Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration will spend an additional $1.5 million in tax-dollars on prostitutes’ healthcare, reviving the $1 million pilot program without legislative approval, The New York Post reported Friday.
New York State Department of Public Health, Hochul’s office, Community Health Project, and Evergreen Health did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
Community Health Project owns the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center (Callen-Lorde) in Brooklyn, which “pioneered healthcare equity in the spirit of resistance—and with a deep commitment to fighting stigma and health disparities,” according to its website.
The New York State Department of Public Health’s AIDS Institute granted Callen-Lorde’s and Evergreen Health’s parent corporations $1 million to cover prostitutes’ primary, behavioral, dental, and sexual health services, The Post reported July 2023. The department recently extended the program through 2028 after expiring last year.
