Do a lot of young, relatively healthy people buy individual insurance in New Jersey? Or do they forgo, staying as dependents on parentsâ policies until theyâre 30, which I believe is the maximum age in NJ?
That is one reason the federal mandate failedâthe volume of young people signing up for coverage just wasnât what was expected. And how is a tax for not being covered by bad plans conducive to low income families?
glad to hear states doing whatâs right for their people. States where itâs not the answer can choose to do something different. The power of diversity. Bending trees donât break.
LolâŚâkeep premiums lowâ Due to a FEDERAL Mandate? Hey, if Jersey wants freebie healthcare, then tax your own dumb citizens for itâŚnot me in a neighboring state.
Very true, Al. Itâs what the people of the state want. All those âgreat thingsâ gives NJ one of the latest âtax freedomâ days in the nation. But itâs what you want, and more power to you for it. (Just like I said.)
People who want it will stay and live with it. People who donât want it have been skedaddling out of that state for quite a while.
I donât like the if-you-donât-like-then-you-can leave stance. I have my political stances and I want them to be universal. Why would I want to let people undermine them?
