 New Jersey Policy Perspective's analysis of “America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009”
(H.R.3200):
"H.R. 3200 addresses most of New Jersey’s major health coverage problems and would benefit more people in this state than in most states.Almost all groups—low and middle class working families, seniors and people with disabilities, children,
childless adults and small businesses—in New Jersey would benefit either directly or indirectly by some provision in the
bill. It would provide much needed relief to the state government by increasing the federal government’s share of funds for health services to low and moderate-income people. And it would do all this at no cost to most New Jersey taxpayers.All of this makes this legislation a win for New Jersey." - Raymond J. Castro, New Jersey Policy Perspective

"A good economy cannot exist without a good environment. In New Jersey, we’ve known that for years. In fact, we’re one of the country’s leaders in jobs related to the environment. "With the downturn in the economy, special interests are once again attacking the environment in the name of streamlining regulations. They are making their case with half truths and anecdotal information. What they’re seeking is not really a streamlining of permitting processes, but the degradation of environmental protections that safeguard public health and safety. We’re concerned that the Christie administration is going along with this attack on the environment." http://blog.nj.com/njv_guest_blog/2010/02/new_jersey_cannot_afford_a_rol.html |
