Our 75+ member organizations represent over two million New Jerseyans and include allied patient advocates, community and faith-based groups, labor, racial justice advocates, research and policy organizations, child, senior and women’s advocacy groups, and social service providers. The coalition is convened by New Jersey Citizen Action. Together we have won important victories that have expanded coverage, increased protections and helped lower costs for consumers such as:

• Supporting the implementation of the Affordable Care Act
• Expanding coverage to all NJ children regardless of immigration status
• Establishing Out of Network protections for NJ patients
• Establishing NJ’s State-Based Health Care Marketplace and codifying essential NJ ACA protections
• Creating a Health Insurance Assessment Fund to be used to make health coverage more affordable and accessible in our state
• Establishing an EZ Enrollment program that allows tax filers to enroll in ACA coverage at tax time
• Establishing a Medical Debt Credit Reporting Ban and additional protections

However, there is more work to be done!
