Horizon to pay $100M to NJ on fraud complaint of overcharging state health plan Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, New Jersey's largest health insurer, will pay $100 million over claims it defrauded the public employees' medical plan

This settlement proves what we said for years: the SHBP needs real reform now. Under @mikiesherrill.bsky.social lawmakers must demand transparency & accountability from insurers. NJ workers &taxpayers deserve nothing less.

Tell Congress to Lower Health Care Costs Take action & tell Congress: lower health care costs by undoing the health care cuts they made in the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.”

IT’S HERE! 🚨
Today AFSCME members in NJ and nationwide are taking action for affordable health care.

We’re standing up against cuts that threaten our hospitals, our jobs & our communities.

Health care is a right, not a privilege. ✊

Health care costs will skyrocket if Congress lets ACA premium tax credits expire. Millions could lose coverage while billionaires get more tax breaks. Join AFSCME’s Day of Action Sept. 25 to fight back. Sign up: afscmego.org#signup

Nation’s largest public service unions launch national campaign to stop federal budget cuts to public services Representing more than 8.3 million workers, AFSCME, AFT, NEA and SEIU launch “Put Families First” a new campaign to highlight the devastating effects of federal budget cuts on working families.

Public service workers, including right here in New Jersey, keep our communities strong. But reckless federal cuts threaten the services we all rely on. We’re calling on Congress to reject any budget that slashes public services. 💪🏽💚 #StopTheCuts #AFSCMENJ
