52:27D-29.32. Findings, declarations
1. 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.
