title: Taking care of legislative business.
abstract: The New Jersey Hospital Association (NJHA) works with legislative leaders to shape policy that will benefit the state's 120 hospitals and the people they serve. The NJHA "to-do" list includes protecting providers against insolvent HMOs; guaranteeing children health care; and making the most of the tobacco settlement money. Attention also is being given to the damage caused by the Balanced Budget Act.
