P.S. - Hey - DC, assume you live in NJ, have 3 children and have a household income of $60,000. Your employer offers coverage that would cost an additional $250 per month for your children with a $1,000 per year deductible and a $50 co-pay. Do you stay with your private employer plan for your children or do you opt for the NJFamilyCare?
