A surprise Friday morning announcement from Senate President Stephen Sweeney calls for what would be the second joint Senate committee hearing to scrutinize Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey’s OMNIA plan since its rollout two years ago.
“More than two years have passed since the Senate Health and Commerce committees held a joint hearing to examine the potential impact of the Horizon OMNIA insurance product. Horizon executives made numerous representations to the joint committee during the hearing,” Sweeney (D-West Deptford) said in a statement.
The leader of the New Jersey Senate says lawmakers will hold a hearing to examine insurance products being offering by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey.
Senate President Steve Sweeney says he wants to make sure insurance companies aren’t making enormous profits at the expense of quality health care for consumers.
