NEWARK, N.J.(AP) - April 7, 2009
A Families USA report released Tuesday says 32 percent under age
65 were uninsured at some point in 2007 and 2008. That compares
with 33 percent at the national level, 31 percent in New York and
27 percent in Pennsylvania.
The report comes as federal policy-makers work on health care
reform.
New Jersey is known as the nation's medicine chest because of
the many pharmaceutical manufacturers that operate in the state.
The prospect of health care reform is a factor in industry job cuts
and consolidation.
