This is a yes or no.

Does the city uphold existing New York State and New York City insurance health protections for TGNC people?
Ronald Porcelli
1:10:15
So I don't know if I can necessarily answer that particularly if it's in a private context.
1:10:20
I would have to follow-up with you on that question.
1:10:23
I would definitely follow-up.
Shahana Hanif
1:10:26
But I just want to know if like we are upholding the existing medical insurance process to make protections in insurance.
1:10:35
I would hope that it's a yes.
Ronald Porcelli
1:10:37
Is my understanding but I would definitely before I proffer anything to you like to follow-up on that particular point and so I could absolutely engage with you.
1:10:47
Again that's my understanding but I don't want to overstate that without providing further clarification.
1:10:53
Okay.
