NEW JERSEY BENEFITS MORE THAN MOST FROM THE NEW HEALTH REFORM LAW

“NJ For Health Care, a broad-based consumer health care coalition representing over 60 organizations and over 2 million residents across the State opposes cuts to critical health care programs that serve New Jersey working families and our State’s most vulnerable residents. On February 11, 2010 Governor Christie signed Executive Order 14, cutting funds for a number of critical State programs including NJ FamilyCare and Charity Care. Now is not the time to cut funding for programs that provide affordable health coverage for families and children.
