Corzine announced that the state has finalized an agreement with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield allowing working- and middle-class families to obtain health insurance for children at drastically reduced rates. Other states are likely to study New Jersey's program carefully because of the involvement of a private insurance company and the state's reputation for trying to expand healthcare coverage.
