In, “New York City Loses Appeal in Medicare Advantage Battle With Retirees” (NY Daily News, November 21, 2022), a New York State Appellate Court decision is discussed, which ruled in favor of the NYC Organization of Public Service Retirees, a grassroots group of retired EMTs, firefighters, cops and other city workers, in their fight to block New York City Mayor Adams’ administration's efforts to shift retired city workers into a privatized Medicare plan.

Our client Marianne Pizzitola, an ex-FDNY EMT who serves as the group’s president, praised the appellate court for ensuring “justice prevailed in a true David vs. Goliath story.”
Partner Steve Cohen represents the New York City retirees.
