Mandatory health insurance heats up in New Jersey

I recently posted about the plan for California mandatory health insurance. I may have been wrong about California being the second state, because New Jersey may be the second state first. The Associated Press reported about the plans for mandatory health insurance in New Jersey. The senator in New Jersey said he soon will announce plans to require NJ residents in to have health insurance. He said the fine details about affordability are being worked on. The state senator said he will announce plans after the new year.

Health insurance in New Jersey is the most expensive in the US, and many people in NJ simply can't afford it. So will the senator fix the problem by requiring people to fork over the money anyway, or will he some how be able to make health insurance affordable in New Jersey. I'm guessing we won't know more until the end of the year.
