Where Do Governor Christie's Nominees Stand on Critical Health Care Issues?



Health Care Policy - We're Winning Nationally
But the States Are The Next Battleground


The Senate Judiciary Committee is poised to confirm three key policy makers to positions of influence over critical Health Care policy. Janet Rosenzweig (Department of Children and Families) and Jennifer Velez (Department of Human Services) are scheduled for confirmation hearings Monday, March 17 at 11:30am in Committee Room 4 of the State House Annex. Dr. Poonam Alaigh (Department of Health & Senior Services) is not yet scheduled.

With Barack Obama's government takeover of our health care system the number one issue facing our country, many of the decisions affecting the role of government in our lives and health care will move to the states. Americans for Prosperity has submitted thirteen key questions on health care policy to these three important appointees. As of today, none have responded.

Americans for Prosperity's 24,000 activists and donors and the rest of New Jersey's taxpayers deserve transparency and truthfulness on the positions these decision makers hold on these vital issues. Many of those reading this newsletter hold state's rights in high esteem. America is built on state's rights, but along with those rights is an obligation to engage your state government and demand the government you want. Does anyone want individuals making such important decisions who are not open and transparent?

The thirteen questions - which you can see here - are straight and to the point. Please call the Governor's office at 609-292-6000 and urge these folks to explain themselves:
