NJ Governor Christie signs 2014 fiscal year budget, which includes the Expansion of Health Care Access Through Medicaid. Access to health care coverage will be expanded for New Jersey’s most vulnerable citizens through Medicaid. New Jersey already has one of the most expansive and generous Medicaid programs in the nation, including the second highest eligibility rate for children. Expanding Medicaid will mean that more New Jerseyans at or near the poverty line will have access to critical health services, while saving New Jersey taxpayers approximately $227 million in fiscal year 2014 alone. Nursing homes will see their Medicaid reimbursement increase by $10.3 million in state funding ($20.6 million with matching federal funds), providing them with additional resources as New Jersey begins its transition to managed long-term services and supports.
