3 Immigrants Sue New Jersey over Health Insurance Cuts
3 Immigrants Sue New Jersey over Health Insurance Cuts
TRENTON, N.J. (AP/ 1010 WINS) -- Three legal immigrants have sued New Jersey over health insurance cuts.
The immigrants claiming the state discriminated against them by kicking them out of the subsidized health insurance program.
In a cost-saving effort, the state is planning to end New Jersey FamilyCare coverage for about 12,000 non-citizens. The program offers low-cost health insurance coverage to low-income families.
Two immigrants from Ecuador and one from Jamaica say the state is discriminating against them based on their alien status.
All three are legal, permanent residents who have had legal status in the U.S. for less than five years.
They say they can't afford non-subsidized health coverage.
Non-citizen children and pregnant women will not lose coverage.
