Helping The Rich

Michelle Malkin notes that rich families are delighted with New Jersey’s S-CHIP program: “People earning as much as $295,000 are enrolled in a state health care program designed for New Jersey’s poor, according to a new audit that found the state failing to check eligibility for all program enrollees.”
NJ FamilyCare is meant to help working poor parents and children.
But the state auditor found vendors aren’t performing eligibility checks and the state isn’t checking applications for unreported income.
The state also failed to try to collect $4.6 million owed to the program by 16,300 people who were disenrolled, the audit found.
“Working poor,” “working rich,” I mean; it’s all relative, right?
And there’s more, so head on over to Michelle’s place. Ed Morrissey also has more at Hot Air.
