In a segment last night on Gov. Christie’s budget address, NJTV News reported on the governor’s plan to tap into the reserves of Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield to create a fund that would provide money for drug treatment for poor people.
For analysis, NJTV turned to NJPP’s Ray Castro, who said it was not the right time for the state to be making such a move.
“I think this proposal should be explained further. We should look at the implications. But it just seems to me that we should wait and see what’s going to happen in Washington before we make big changes like this,” Castro said.
