GESTATIONAL SURROGACY

A Pregnant Pause

UNLIKE MOST ISSUES in Albany that divide state lawmakers along traditional ideological and partisan lines, paid gestational surrogacy pits liberals, LGBTQ legislators and feminist lawmakers of different generations against each other. But that could change in upcoming budget negotiations.

A bill to legalize gestational surrogacy – which allows a woman to bear a child using another woman’s egg – did pass the state Senate last year, but it did not get a vote by the full Assembly because of concerns among some older, female lawmakers who say the practice can commodify female bodies. Other Democratic lawmakers, especially those from the millennial generation, see surrogacy as a way to allow gay and straight couples alike to start families through a practice that is already legal in 47 other states.

One key ingredient to success this year is timing, according to Melissa DeRosa, secretary to the governor, who has been the go-to person for Gov. Andrew Cuomo on the issue. “Gestational surrogacy was a big priority of ours last year and continues to be this year,” DeRosa said. “By jump-starting the campaign earlier, taking the time to properly educate legislators, and humanizing the issue, the likelihood of success is much higher.”

The state budget process this year offers supporters their best chance yet to legalize gestational surrogacy. This approach would allow Cuomo, who reiterated his support for the proposal at a press conference last week, to circumvent the Assembly committee process by making the issue part of a broader agreement that includes legislators’ other political priorities. A new bill to legalize paid gestational surrogacy was introduced this month by state Senate Finance Chair Liz Krueger – the only Democrat in the Senate to vote against the bill last year – suggests that critics are coming around. But Krueger and other influential lawmakers in the Assembly are pushing for a resolution on the issue to be delayed until after the April 1 budget deadline.

With Cuomo and the state Senate having already demonstrated their support for the effort, the big x-factor remains Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, who has said before that he generally opposes including policy proposals in the budget. Whether the Assembly backs the idea one way or another also remains an open question, he told reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday. “If there is support for it in the conference, I’d say it’s a priority to have a discussion on it,” Heastie told reporters Tuesday. “Whether there is enough support within the conference overall to do it, that’s another matter, and I don’t have that answer yet.”

Heastie did say that he would discuss the issue with a group of lawmakers from his conference. Though he declined to specify the specific lawmakers he planned to discuss the issue with, the most undecided

group among his members appear to be the same lawmakers who opposed the effort last year. “I’m very conflicted,” said Assemblywoman Deborah Glick of Manhattan, the state Legislature’s first openly gay or lesbian member and who opposed the effort last year. “On the one hand, I think this is happening and it’s going to keep happening so we should do what we can to make it as safe as possible. On the other hand, I’m very uncomfortable with some aspects of it.”

Other past opponents include the chairs of the two legislative committees that oversee state spending – Krueger and Assembly

Gestational surrogacy is on hold until feminists and LGBT advocates can find common ground.

Ways and Means Chair Helene Weinstein. The new bill proposed by Krueger would give surrogates additional rights that include a grace period of at least eight days after birth to decide whether or not to contest the custody of the child. There is also a provision that would not allow a woman to be a surrogate more than two times, and a requirement that a woman have delivered one healthy baby before she would be eligible for paid surrogacy. “One of the reasons I think it’s so important for this issue to not go in the budget is because it requires those kinds of conversations,” Krueger said in an interview. “There are lots of different health issues, biomedical ethical issues.”

The Manhattan lawmaker said that further discussion could sway some Democratic lawmakers to withdraw support for the original bill, sponsored by state Sen. Brad Hoylman of Manhattan and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin of Westchester County, which served as the basis for the governor’s proposal. “It’s not a simple story,” Krueger said of the nearly unanimous support the Hoylman bill had among Democratic colleagues last year. “The bill has had very little attention from most legislators.” State lawmakers did hold a May 2019 hearing on the matter.

Hoylman said that he is amenable to revising his bill to address critics’ concerns, but he called the eight-day grace period a “nonstarter” that would undermine the whole purpose. “I speak from personal experience,” said Hoylman, who has had two children with his husband through gestational surrogacy. “I would never go into an arrangement where the woman acting as a surrogate, even though she’s not genetically connected to my children, might be able to claim parental rights.” His proposal includes requirements that contracting parents pay for independent legal counsel and medical insurance for their surrogate, who would get to choose her doctor. “I think the bill we have now is first in class among potential laws legalizing surrogacy across the country,” he said. Paulin did not respond to a request for comment.

New Yorkers who wish to have children through paid surrogates can travel to almost any state in the nation to do so. By incentivizing residents to seek such services elsewhere, the state is undermining its own ability to protect the health of surrogates, according to Hoylman. “We’re asking New Yorkers to go to other states where there may be very bad laws that might jeopardize our citizens.”

Delaying action on surrogacy, as Krueger is urging, until after the budget would give opponents more opportunities to mobilize and make their case. Hoylman, Cuomo and other proponents have highlighted the issue as a matter of equal rights for samesex couples who want to have families Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pushed to legalize gestational surrogacy, which is legal in 47 states, and which he argues can help LGBT couples raise kids of their own. through surrogacy. Considering that some couples pay tens of thousands of dollars to surrogates, opponents argue that efforts by relatively wealthy people to have children should not come at the cost of protecting women. “Under this bill, women in economic need become commercialized vessels for rent, and the fetuses they carry become the property of others,” feminist icon Gloria Steinem said last year of the Hoylman-Paulin bill.

Avowed feminist lawmakers like Krueger, Weinstein, Glick and Assemblywoman Didi Barrett of Poughkeepsie are skeptical about last year’s Hoylman proposal to legalize paid gestational surrogacy. But their younger counterparts in state government have a different take on the issue. Most members of both houses under the age of 50 have signed on as co-sponsors of the bill. While some of them say they share concerns about the danger of allowing women to be exploited, they do not oppose the idea as a matter of principle. “I am in support of legalizing surrogacy,” said Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou of Manhattan. “I have offered surrogacy to two of my friends before. I understand how hard it is to find a good surrogate.” She ultimately did not serve as a surrogate.

One reason for this generational divide is the emphasis that younger feminists have placed on allowing women, even those who might be more vulnerable to exploitation, to ultimately make their own reproductive health decisions. It is also an issue that allows women greater freedom to strike a balance between their careers and families, according to DeRosa. “Surrogacy is something that affects women of a certain age,” said DeRosa, who is 37. “It’s incredibly important to women across the state, who are not elected to the Senate or the Assembly. Until very recently, decisions were being made for them by old white men or older white women who are completely out of touch with this generation.”

For now, the political momentum appears to be behind Cuomo’s budget proposal, but proponents may need at least the tacit support of powerful critics like Krueger and Weinstein to get a budget that includes the legalization of paid gestational surrogacy. The reluctance of Heastie to include non-fiscal items in the budget could help them keep the issue out of the budget this year.

Considering that most powerful opponents of his bill are also some of his strongest allies on other issues, Hoylman said that taking the time to address concerns is a step he is willing to take – even if it means waiting until after April 1 to get the effort across the legislative finish line. “I’m in favor of passing it however it gets done,” he said. ■

THE PARTY SPLIT ON GESTATIONAL SURROGACY

What’s the latest with maternity, maternal mortality, and IVF? Medically necessary egg freezing went into effect on Jan. 1, but a lot of people don’t know about it. We’re putting money behind an education campaign and also trying to explore other ways to expand the mandate. For maternal mortality, we put $8 million into the budget. We’re implementing implicit bias training and post-birth training for medical providers, creating a comprehensive prenatal data warehouse to increase timely access to maternal health data and convening a maternal mortality review board that reviews all of the maternal deaths to identify patterns in a more holistic way. We’re also doing a recruitment program in communities of color. When you are treating somebody who is like you, you’re more sensitive to their unique health care needs.

CARLINA RIVERA

CHAIRWOMAN, NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE ON HOSPITALS

CORONAVIRUS PREPAREDNESS AND MEDICARE FOR ALL

You’re the lead sponsor of a bill to create an Office of the Patient Advocate. Don’t New Yorkers already have somewhere in the bureaucracy to lodge health care complaints? We have an incredibly complex health care system. And that presents challenges for even well-seasoned veterans of bureaucracy. When you have problems in accessing care, whether it’s poor treatment or customer service or issues with insurance, it often feels like the only place where you can go is that same institution creating those problems – like the medical facility or the doctor you just saw. This allows you to have a place where you can not only contact for help, but it’s going to be able to use that data to influence or support what you know you need in your own community.

What about gestational surrogacy? Gestational surrogacy was a big priority of ours last year and continues to be this year. By jump-starting the campaign earlier, taking the time to properly educate legislators, and humanizing the issue, the likelihood of success is much higher.

State Sen. Liz Krueger has expressed skepticism about the governor’s proposal and has proposed her own bill. What do you make of it? I have not reviewed it yet. I have heard from a number of the different advocates, both in the women’s groups and in the LGBT groups, saying that there were provisions in it that they absolutely could not support. Their words, not mine. We will review it and hear all sides. The proposal that we put forward was really drafted with the people in mind who have lived through gestational surrogacy, who have had to leave the state because of our antiquated, outdated, completely backward laws.

How do generational differences play into your approach to issues like surrogacy? One of the first things that I did after becoming secretary was I went to the doctor and explored embryo and egg freezing because it was something my husband and I talked about. At that point, we were like: “We’re not doing this now. When are we going to do it?” I am now 37 and I have to take full advantage of the position that I am in. Surrogacy is something that affects women of a certain age and so it’s something that is incredibly important to me on a personal level. It’s incredibly important to all of my friends. It’s incredibly important to women across the state, who are not elected to the Senate or the Assembly. Until very recently, decisions were being made for them by old white men or older white women who are completely out of touch with this generation.

Do you support Medicare for All? Is there anything the city can do? I do support Medicare for All. We’re looking at expanding NYC Care. I know at the state level, we’ll be fighting for single-payer, which I think is a great introduction. I have a bill with Council member Mark Levine and Speaker Corey Johnson which expands NYC Care – or something very similar – to Federally Qualified Health Centers. There’s not a Health + Hospitals facility in every neighborhood, but if we supplement the community health clinics, we can make a real dent in our primary care health access challenges. Medicaid funding is shifting as we speak, but is New York City in trouble, in regard to state health care funding? I have optimism. I mean, billions of dollars in cuts that could affect our ability to serve the people of New York City is certainly distressing. We’re the type of city, the type of state that wants to help our poorest New Yorkers, our most vulnerable people. And I hope that we can figure out a way to not look at cutting health care for the poor first and foremost when it comes to filling budget gaps.

You mentioned there’s a lot of talent in New York City when it comes to health care. Are you confident that the city is prepared for outbreaks like coronavirus? I’m very confident. I think that unfortunately there’s been a lot of panic and unnecessary hysteria around misinformation. So I’m trying to be in Chinatown, whether it’s visiting a classroom or going to local businesses, and making sure that we understand that New York City has world-class institutions here, and we’re going to take care of every New Yorker, whether it’s coronavirus or whether it’s flu season. These are very serious issues, but we’re the best at this.

Going Viral

by A M I N A F R A S S L

Using experience from Ebola – and waning federal dollars – health officials are attempting to fortify against a coronavirus outbreak.

WHEN THE CORONAVIRUS outbreak began in China, government officials there initially sought to deny that there was any public health issue. One doctor in Wuhan, the Chinese city hardest hit, noticed early warning signs of a potential epidemic, but was confronted by police and pressured to keep quiet. Eventually, after aggressive quarantine efforts by the government, the number of new cases in China peaked, but doubts remain as to how reliable China’s official figures are. Now, as COVID-19, the new coronavirus that first appeared in Wuhan, spreads to other countries – including South Korea, Iran and Italy – public health officials in New York are bracing for the worst. Even though there have been no cases documented locally as of printing, public health officials have been open about the threat for weeks. And unlike in China, New York City’s health department has been transparent about the still small number of people who have been tested and the results of those tests. But will it make a difference?

“IT’S NOT A MATTER OF IF, BUT WHEN, WE’LL SEE CASES OF CORONAVIRUS IN OUR CITY.”

– NEW YORK CITY MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO

“It’s not a matter of if, but when, we’ll see cases of coronavirus in our city,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Jan. 24. “We are prepared and we need you to take precautions as well.” Last week, de Blasio asked the federal government to allow the city’s health department to test patients for the virus, arguing that it would allow the city to respond more quickly to a health emergency. Currently, the city has to rely on the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for testing.

While much remains unknown about the disease, whose flu-like symptoms range from resembling the common cold to life-threatening conditions, it appears to be more contagious than the related respiratory syndromes SARS and MERS. According to the CDC, infection with COVID-19 occurs through the air, in close contact of about six feet. Respiratory droplets are produced when an infected patient coughs or sneezes. These can land in the mouths or noses or are possibly inhaled into the lungs of people nearby.

Fast transmission is a particular concern in a dense city like New York. “The important thing for New Yorkers to know is that in the city currently, their risk is low, and our city preparedness is high,” said New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot on a Feb. 6 interview on NY1’s Inside City Hall show. “We are monitoring the situation daily to determine if our plans to protect New Yorkers need to be adjusted accordingly.”

This would not be the first time the city battles an infectious disease. During the 2014 Ebola outbreak, the New York City health department implemented extensive screening procedures and training. After the death of Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan in Dallas, health officials in New York City set up isolation rooms in public and private hospitals. Bellevue Hospital Center was turned into the go-to facility with separate rooms with sliding glass doors, private bathrooms and a lab only for testing the blood of Ebola patients.

Hospital preparedness was put to the test when Dr. Craig Spencer tested positive for Ebola after returning from Guinea, marking the first case in New York City. Spencer was immediately brought into isolation at Bellevue. The three people he came in contact with were quarantined, and the bowling alley he visited was closed and cleaned by health workers. The virus was ultimately contained, and Spencer was declared Ebola-free after less than a month.

Spencer’s case “is a good indication that it can be done,” Dr. Stephen Morse, professor of epidemiology at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, told City & State. “If you are careful and mindful of the fact that (infection) could happen, you make sure to look for those cases, whether it’s Ebola or the 2019 coronavirus. It’s a matter of having the right procedures and infrastructure in place and people who know how to act.”

According to Syra Madad, the senior director for the systemwide special-pathogens program for NYC Health + Hospitals, the city’s health facilities are practicing basic infection control to detect COVID-19 amongst New Yorkers. “The first thing staff in the ER asks is – ‘Do you have fever, cough or rash?’” Madad told City & State. “If they do, patients are given a mask and escorted to isolation rooms right away to minimize the interaction with other patients.” With the support of federal funding, Bellevue Hospital Center hosts in-service training to familiarize health workers with COVID-19. Medical personnel are taught how to identify cases and isolate them and undergo readiness and table-top protocols to ensure the system responds and functions properly should this outbreak worsen. “We drill all of our hospitals on what we call ‘mystery patients’ that may come in with respiratory illnesses to make sure that they are all at the same level of readiness,” a spokesperson for the New York City health department said.

If there is a surge of cases, NYC Health + Hospitals plans to address the situation from a four-S standpoint: staffing, supplies, space and system. This helps health officials ensure there are enough isolation rooms, masks and medical workers to accommodate infected patients.

While funding for the national Ebola preparedness program is set to expire early this year, individual medical systems can decide whether to continue funding the program. According to Madad, the NYC Health + Hospitals program will continue, but she voiced concern for health care programs around the nation.

“The unfortunate part is that funding was only for five years, and it actually expires in a matter of months – in 2020,” Madad told New York magazine recently. “So this entire infrastructure that we’ve built across the nation is going to get dismantled in a couple of months, which is mind-boggling knowing we’re in a potential pandemic situation and we’re letting our guard down.”

For now, travel restrictions issued by the Trump administration allow health officials to buy time and prepare for the worst. As of Feb. 2, foreign nationals who traveled to China within the past 14 days are no longer allowed to enter the United States. This does not apply to U.S. citizens who have recently been to mainland China. They are allowed to enter but may be subject to health screening and possibly 14 days of federal or self-imposed quarantine. CDC staffers evaluate travelers for fever, cough or heavy breathing, and if they show symptoms, they will be brought to a medical facility. Travelers who do not show signs of illness are allowed to complete their travel itinerary but are instructed to self-monitor their health for two weeks by staying home and avoiding contact with others.

Should cases of COVID-19 be identified in the city, officials will likely expand airport screening beyond federal guidelines and CDC requirements. During the Ebola outbreak, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and then-Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey issued a quarantine policy, ordering 21-day mandatory quarantine for all health care workers returning from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, and traveling through John F. Kennedy and Newark Liberty International airports.

In the meantime, the city’s health officials are doing their best to promote transparency. Cuomo recently allocated $40 million to the state Health Department to hire more staff and resources to combat the disease if and when it arrives. And while China failed to notify its citizens soon enough, as The New York Times reported, in New York both city and state health departments are updating their websites daily. “We are putting out a steady stream of press releases, website updates of suspected cases,” a spokesperson for the New York City health department said. “We are in constant communication with electeds, local health care providers and community partners to update them on the latest information.” ■
