State officials set to return to Albany if megabill passes
Beat Memo A federal budget bill that passed the House this week could have sobering implications for New York, state government officials say. State officials briefed lawmakers on the federal megabill last week, reporting a potential $13.5 billion hit to New York's health care system, leaving roughly 1.5 million New Yorkers uninsured, the Hochul administration estimates. In addition, the bill could also result in the loss of more than 78,000 health care jobs, according to an analysis by the Fiscal Policy Institute. State lawmakers are weighing in, and they say New York's health care system will be crippled if the Senate does not negotiate a better deal. Senate and Assembly Health Committee chairs Sen. Gustavo Rivera and Assemblymember Amy Paulin both said they expect to return to Albany if the megabill is passed through the Senate. If passed lawmakers and Gov. Kathy Hochul will be forced to contend with how to move forward with 'devastating' federal cuts, Paulin said. 'We have to see what the final product is, but we now know it is going to be much worse than we could have ever anticipated, and we will have to do the best we can to provide health care for the people of our state,' Paulin said to POLITICO. 'We can't backfill this, we will have to make big decisions, for example, do we send out those rebate checks for $2 billion?' Paulin added. Rivera said he stands firm in his position that the state should raise taxes for the rich, but said even that would not be enough to plug the gaping holes created by the projected federal cuts. 'I recognize that we are never going to be able to make up for everything that the feds are going to cut. I don't know what they are going to chop off, but it's going to be bad,' Rivera told POLITICO. 'But we have to cover some of it, and we'll have conversations about what is the most crucial, what is the most important.' ON THE AGENDA: — Wednesday at 8 a.m. the state Trauma Advisory Committee will meet. — Thursday at 10 a.m. the state Rural Health Council will meet. — Thursday at 3 p.m. NYC Health + Hospitals' board of directors hosts its monthly public meeting.

Highland coach who persuaded teen boys to pose naked launches appeal bid
A former American football coach who was jailed for persuading teenagers to pose naked for a fake sex education video is to appeal his conviction and sentence. Robert 'Robbie' Paulin – who had previously served as head coach of the Highland Wildcats – was convicted of two counts of facilitating the involvement in pornography of a person aged under 18 by a jury at Inverness Sheriff Court. On April 24 the 39-year-old was handed a two-year jail sentence by Sheriff Eilidh MacDonald. During the hearing, his advocate, Kelly Duling, told the court Paulin maintained his innocence. In Scotland, those convicted of serious offences are entitled to lodge appeals to the court. That enables their lawyers to make legal arguments, claiming that the conviction or the sentence – or both – were unsafe or too severe compared to similar cases. In this case, Paulin's legal representatives have intimated their intention to appeal both the conviction and sentence. A spokesman for the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service confirmed the development this afternoon. A senior judge or appeal sheriff will now decide whether or not to grant permission for the appeal to proceed based on legal matters and evidence. If permission is granted, an appeal hearing is likely to be held within the coming months before a panel of three judges. The four-day trial had heard that Paulin had led outreach sessions in a number of schools and had had contact with a number of young people 'in the thousands' over a 17-year period. Paulin's victims – now in their 20s – gave evidence describing how they became close to the older man before the crimes took place between 2012 and 2014. One, aged 17, posed naked for indecent photographs – some of which Paulin himself took. These included photographs of his victim's penis and video of the teenager performing a solo sex act. Paulin also had a second boy, aged 15, pose naked while he took indecent images, including photographs of his penis, and attempted to take video of him performing a solo sex act. The teenagers believed that the images were for use in educational material. Giving evidence in his own defence, Paulin repeatedly denied all of the conduct described by his accusers and, under cross-examination, claimed that both had 'grievances' against him. Sentencing Paulin, of Glenmoriston, to two years in jail, Sheriff MacDonald told him: 'You took the opportunity to groom these young men – you spotted their individual vulnerabilities and made a plan. 'You manipulated and deceived them, you tricked them both.'

Map Shows States Where Doctor-Assisted Suicide Is Legal as NY Bill Advances
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York State Assembly has approved legislation that would allow physician-assisted suicide, a first in either chamber of the state legislature. The Medical Aid in Dying Act passed by a vote of 81-67 and would enable mentally competent, terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less to request a prescription for life-ending medication, subject to multiple safeguards. Why It Matters Should the bill become law, New York would become the 11th jurisdiction in the United States to permit physician-assisted suicide through legislation. At the moment, the practice is legal in Oregon, Washington, Vermont, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico and the District of Columbia. In Montana, it is permitted through a court ruling, not statutory law. Proponents of the law argue it offers terminally ill patients a choice to avoid prolonged suffering. New York State Assembly Member Amy Paulin, who has sponsored the bill since 2016, has spoken of her sister's painful death from ovarian cancer. "She shouted out every five minutes, 'When am I going to die already? The pain is so severe,'" Paulin recalled. What To Know The legislation requires approval from both an attending and consulting physician and allows for a mental health evaluation if there's any concern over the patient's decision-making capacity. Senate Bill S138 contains parallel provisions and is currently in the Senate Health Committee. The legislation lays out specific conditions and procedural requirements. A patient must make a written request, confirmed by at least two physicians. It explicitly prohibits coercion and mandates that patients administer the drugs themselves. Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins has not yet committed to a floor vote, although she acknowledged the issue is under discussion. "The conversation had begun in earnest last year," she told City & State New York media outlet. The legislation has its opponents as well. New York Representative Elise Stefanik, a Republican, issued a scathing statement condemning the Medical Aid in Dying Act and its supporters. "The New York State Assembly's decision to pass this disgusting assisted suicide bill is a shameful attack on the sanctity of life and a betrayal of our most vulnerable citizens," Stefanik said. "This radical legislation, driven by Governor [Kathy] Hochul's Far Left allies, normalizes the termination of human life under the guise of 'compassion,' putting the elderly, disabled, and terminally ill at risk of coercion and despair. As a proud pro-life advocate, I am appalled that Albany Democrats would prioritize this culture of death over protecting the dignity and worth of every New Yorker."

More SIMON WOHLFAHRT/AFP via Getty Images What People Are Saying Stefanik said in a statement: "This bill undermines the fundamental principle that all life is sacred, a value I have fought for in Congress. Instead of investing in palliative care, mental health support, and life-affirming resources for those facing terminal illness, this legislation offers an immoral shortcut that devalues human life. It sends a chilling message to our seniors and disabled communities that their lives are expendable." "New Yorkers deserve better than Far Left policies that erode our moral foundation and push families toward heartbreak. I call on the State Senate to reject this dangerous bill and stand up for the voiceless. As the representative of New York's 21st District, I will continue to champion life at every stage and fight against the extremist agenda of Hochul and her Albany Democrats. We must restore New York's commitment to the protection of all its citizens." New York state Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, the bill's Senate sponsor, told City & State New York: "I know we have the votes. It's a matter of continuing to raise the issue with leadership." What Happens Next The bill awaits further action in the Senate. If passed, it would advance to Hochul, who has not yet publicly taken a position on the measure. If fully enacted, New York would become the 10th U.S. state to allow doctor-assisted suicide, alongside its neighbor New Jersey.

New York Assembly passes bill to legalize assisted suicide for the terminally ill
The New York State Assembly on Tuesday passed a bill that would legalize medically assisted suicide for terminally ill people, sending the measure to the state Senate. The Medical Aid in Dying Act passed the Assembly by an 81-67 vote. The measure would allow a mentally competent adult who has been given six months or less to live the option of being prescribed lethal drugs. The bill's sponsor, Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, said she was motivated to introduce the legislation after her sister died of ovarian cancer. "I don't know whether she would have availed herself of this medication if she had the opportunity, but I can tell you that when she died, I wasn't there," Paulin, a Democrat, told reporters, according to the New York Post. Minnesota Lawmakers Propose Controversial Medically-assisted Suicide Bill "When she died, my other sisters were not there, and that was her wish," she continued. Read On The Fox News App Democrat Assemblywoman Karines Reyes, a registered nurse, said the bill would allow people to die with dignity. "If you don't believe in it, then don't avail yourself of that choice, but I think it is inhumane for us to tell people that we are forcing them to continue their suffering," Reyes said. Medically-assisted suicide has been gaining support in New York over the last decade, but opponents of the measure argue it is akin to state-sponsored assisted suicide. "I watched my mom die. I watched my daughter die. And I know that for a fact that none of us are getting out of here alive. At some point or the other, we're all going to go, but I don't believe there should be a combination of six drugs offered to someone to end their life," Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes, a Democrat, said on the Assembly floor, according to the New York Post. Terminally Ill Missouri Woman, 79, Taking Trip To Switzerland For Assisted Suicide Assemblywoman Mary Beth Walsh, a Republican, said "each and every life has value" in arguing against the proposal. "Progress may not be on a straight line and will look different to each of us, but this idea of giving up and dying is not excelsior, ever upward. It's incredibly sad," she said, referring to the state motto, "Excelsior" which means "ever upward." State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said she would discuss the bill with senators, but she did not say whether she would bring it up for a floor vote. "The conversation had begun in earnest last year. So I think we have time to look at it seriously," she told reporters. It is unclear if Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul would sign the measure if it passed the state legislature. There are 10 U.S. states with legalized physician-assisted suicide.
