New Jersey Governor has just signed legislation that will ensure all children in the state have access to the healthcare they require.
The bill, S3000, establishes certain network adequacy standards for pediatric primary and specialty care in the Medicaid program.
“We thank Governor Murphy for signing this critical bill into law and assuring that the most vulnerable children in our community and throughout the state receive the best possible care, regardless of their financial circumstances or geographic service area,” said Rabbi Sruli Fried, director of Chai Lifeline NJ/PA. “This is a momentous day for the families of Chai Lifeline and I want to thank the entire community for their advocacy and support in making this possible. The tireless efforts of hundreds of our families and friends—their calls and letters to their representatives—have made a real difference and will impact countless lives. Thank you!”
Does it mean we can go back to chop??
So of course people are going to get all excited about this, but this really nothing that is bill that’s really new. All it was was grandstanding and of course inzireh mentchin fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
Maybe it’s not a big deal for you but for the countless families who couldn’t go to chop these past few months it is an absolute life saver.
Thank you governor! And Kol hakavod to chai lifeline (inzireh mentchen!) for working on this so hard!
what does this mean for us? in layman’s terms?
This is amazing! Which hmo?
What practical impact does this have for us?
does this make jersey care have to contract with chop
Can he make sure that private pay insurances also cover CHOP? I pay a fortune for coverage under getcoverednj and it doesn’t cover out of NJ!! Or he’s just showing that once again he doesn’t care for the hardworking middle class?
