New Jersey § 52:27d-29

§ 52:27d-29.

The Legislature finds and declares that: the availability, coverage and purchase

of health insurance is complex and can cause serious problems for senior citizens;

there are widespread misperceptions and confusion concerning Medicare and private

health insurance coverages and emerging insurance products; the Division on Aging

in the Department of Community Affairs has conducted a Senior Health Insurance Program

which has successfully assisted senior citizens in understanding their insurance coverage

and in making informed decisions concerning health insurance; and there is a continuing

Statewide need to address health care insurance problems experienced by senior citizens

and to provide education concerning insurance coverage for both acute and long-term

health care services.
