TRENTON, N.J. -- New Jersey would believe adopting a plan that "approaches universal health care" as it seeks to give health insurance to small businesses and uninsured residents, the governor said Thursday.
Gov. Jon S. Corzine said he plans in September to reveal a health insurance reform plan that will agree with state efforts to study hospitals and health clinics.
We're surely going to work on providing something that approaches universal health care," Corzine said as he spoke Thursday morning on WNYC, a New York public radio station.
He decried the recent system in which uninsured residents rely on crisis room care largely paid for by the state. The state spends about $1 billion per year to luxury people who lack health insurance.
"It is a horrible system, extremely inefficient," said Corzine, a Democrat.
