Bill overview
This bill would expand Medicare health care coverage to all residents of New Jersey, regardless of age, health, or disability. The state would apply for waivers from the federal government to implement this universal coverage program. It would also require insurance carriers to cease offering plans that duplicate Medicare coverage. The state would work with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to determine costs and establish premiums, aiming to replace existing state and local health programs with a single, statewide Medicare system.
