Christie Caves on “Obamacare” may let U.S. run N.J.’s health exchange
Gov. Christie said he was considering letting the federal government set up the state health insurance exchange required by the federal health-care overhaul to allow individuals to buy coverage.
He also said he was not sure New Jersey needs to expand Medicaid under the federal law because the state’s program that covers the poor and disabled already is extensive.
The Republican governor made the comments on Fox News’ Fox and Friends show, one of four national television appearances he was making Tuesday, a day after he told New Jersey lawmakers during a special session he called that they should cut taxes. (Associated Press)
