Governor Christie: Put People's Health Above Politics
Please spend the $7.6 million the federal government gave to New Jersey on outreach and marketing of the new health coverage options available under the Affordable Care Act. Please put people's health above politics and spend the $7.6 million to let New Jersey's hardworking families know how they can access affordable health care.
Why is this important?
New Jersey received more than $7.6 million from the federal government to publicize newly available health care coverage and how to access it through the Marketplace. Thus far the Governor has refused to use the money to let uninsured New Jerseyans know about the insurance options available to them.
And time is running out.
If the Governor doesn't act by TODAY, February 20th - and come up with a plan to spend the money on ACA outreach the Feds will take the money back. He's had well over a year to come up with a plan. Failing to spend the money on outreach and enrollment could mean that 95,000 New Jerseyans will go without health insurance this year.
Please sign our petition demanding that Governor Christie put people's health before politics.
