Explore New Jersey readings, major events and reviewed actions on the same date scale. New Jersey officeholders appear in separate lanes. National event evidence describes national context; it does not measure a New Jersey effect.

FactVote uses the Census Bureau's HIC-4_ACS historical table. Rates and 90% confidence margins of error are the published ACS 1-year estimates for the civilian noninstitutionalized population. ACS annual estimates, all ages. Standard ACS 2020 one-year data were not released; the chart leaves a gap. Survey ranks describe point estimates and do not establish significant differences. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.

How major events are selected

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.

Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

People under 65 without health insurance

9.1%2024 estimate

Share of New Jersey’s civilian noninstitutionalized residents under age 65 who lacked comprehensive health-insurance coverage at the time of the ACS survey.

This source snapshot keeps its own definition and period. A rank shown elsewhere applies only to that comparison’s measure and period.

Method and limitations

U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts annual health-insurance estimate.

  • This excludes people age 65 and older.
  • Insurance status does not measure affordability, provider availability, coverage adequacy, or quality of care.

Life expectancy at birth

FactVote uses CDC National Center for Health Statistics annual complete life-table estimates for the total New Jersey population. Values are rounded to the published tenth of a year.

The latest published comparable state series ends in 2022, even though newer national life-expectancy estimates may be available. Period life expectancy summarizes current mortality rates; it is not a forecast of how long a particular person will live. The 2020 and 2021 estimates reflect the mortality shock during the COVID-19 pandemic.

National report totals can include territories. Designation rules and populations differ by discipline; do not add disciplines. Absolute population and practitioner ranks also reflect state size.

Employer coverage costs

Premium comparisons use a published historical all-state employer survey. Total premiums combine employer and employee payments.

Single coverage premium · all firms

Average total annual employer-plan premium per enrolled employee at private-sector establishments offering coverage.

Historical 2020 published all-state table; not a current quote. Includes both employer and employee contributions, rather than just a worker’s payment. Survey estimates and small firm samples carry uncertainty. Missing estimates remain unavailable.

New Jersey · state comparison

Mental health and treatment

Adult statewide estimates use the same SAMHSA model and survey period. Treatment use is a share of all adults, not a share of adults with mental illness.

New Jersey · 2023–202418.1%
New Jersey rank#50among all 50 states
U.S. benchmark23.1%Same measure and period when published

#1 is the highest value. Ties share a rank and leave gaps. D.C. and territories are excluded. Rank describes the measured value; it is not an overall score of the state.

Any Mental Illness · adults 18+

Civilian noninstitutionalized adults age 18+, past-year prevalence or treatment use, estimated by small-area survey models.

Mental illness and depression estimates pool 2023–2024; treatment use covers 2024 only. Definitions and model-based uncertainty differ from the national page’s annual 2025 survey estimates. Point-estimate ranks do not establish significant differences. Serious mental illness is a subset of any mental illness, so their percentages must not be added.

We must improve our nation’s health care system and first and foremost that means standing against the disgusting repeal efforts in Congress that would deny coverage to millions of people and raise costs on seniors and working families while giving tax breaks to billionaires. Instead, we need to work together to lower the cost of prescription drugs and ensure healthcare for all. I have been on the forefront of fighting to allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, limit the out-of-pocket costs to $35 a month for life saving insulin and reducing the cost of prescriptions for all families.

Promoting preventative care and early intervention by expanding access to screenings, vaccinations, and health education programs, particularly in communities disproportionately affected by chronic illnesses, are also critically important.

Candidate campaign source

I will fight to require hospitals and insurers to publish real, upfront prices for procedures and services so families can plan and budget with confidence. I will also support strong penalties for providers and insurers that hide pricing, and expand access to clear, user-friendly comparison tools so patients can shop for care the same way they do for any other major expense. Transparency creates competition, and competition lowers costs. I also support lowering the cap on Medicare premiums to reduce out-of-pocket costs for seniors, helping them access care without financial stress.

Small businesses and self-employed workers are a backbone of New Jersey’s economy, but they’re being priced out of healthcare. I will fight to expand Association Health Plans, allowing small businesses to pool together and access affordable coverage.

Raising kids means needing flexibility, but our current healthcare system doesn’t offer much of it. I will support expanding Health Savings Accounts by increasing contribution limits so families can save more money tax-free for medical expenses; allowing HSAs to cover more services, including mental health care, telehealth, and childcare-related healthcare needs; and by allowing spouses to share HSAs, so families can manage healthcare costs together.

How statements are selected

This section matches specific health coverage, healthcare costs, access to care and public health terms in retained, attributed source text from published New Jersey candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.

Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current New Jersey officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.

Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a New Jersey statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 4, 2026.
