Ending state health insurance program for legal aliens lawful, court rules
The Legislature did not overstep its authority by allowing the Department of Human Services to end a health insurance program for thousands of low-income legal resident aliens last year, a state appellate court panel ruled today.
In reaching its decision, the three-judge panel refused to reinstate or enroll nearly 12,000 to the state’s FamilyCare program. (Spoto, The Star-Ledger)
