This week, the New Jersey Legislature is considering legislation that would require certain entities authorized to issue health benefit plans to pay an annual assessment.
Of course, “assessment” is just another way of saying “tax” — which is what this is, a tax on health insurance. Worse, if this bill becomes law, it will actually create a second tax on health insurance in New Jersey.

The passing of Georgia Congressman John Lewis comes at a particularly poignant time for our nation and for New Jersey.
Congressman Lewis was a pillar of the civil rights movement and his fight for inclusion and economic opportunity made him the conscience of the U. S. Congress for his more than three decades of service there.
His life is the embodiment of what this country can achieve and a reminder of how much more there is yet to do to create economic opportunity for all Americans.
As we honor the memory of Congressman Lewis, The N.J. Chamber of Commerce renews its commitment to work with political, business and community leaders, especially our joint initiative with the African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey to address economic, social and educational inequalities in our state and help those left out or left behind.
