Uninsured Slow To Sign Up For Coverage Updated: Monday, 23 Aug 2010, 6:35 AM EDT Published : Monday, 23 Aug 2010, 6:33 AM EDT
HACKENSACK, N.J. - Just two people in New Jersey will begin receiving coverage Monday under new plans created by federal health care reforms.
NJ Protect plans are available to those who have been without insurance for at least six months and submit evidence of pre-existing health conditions.
The state will receive $141 million in federal subsidies to cover claims that exceed the premiums paid by the beneficiaries.
Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey spokesman Tom Vincz expects more people will enroll in the coming weeks.
Vincz says more than 600 applications were downloaded and 268 information kits were sent out following the program's announcement on Aug. 1.
Two policies are available, with premiums ranging from $212 to $768 monthly, depending on age.
Typical lazy-ass liberal motherfuckers. They bitch and whine about healthcare, get what they want and are too drunk or high to bother to show up and participate in what they bitched about for years.
Lazy-ass motherfuckers.
