I dunno about this. I suspect the real story is that NJ doesn't pay
medical bills caused by the worker's criminal activity.

N.J. governor will pay for medical costs of crash
Corzine, a multimillionaire former Goldman Sachs chief, expects a huge bill

TRENTON, N.J. - Gov. Jon S. Corzine will forgo his state health
insurance and spend hundreds of thousands of his own money to pay for
his medical care from a serious car accident, a spokesman said Friday.

The spokesman for Corzine, a multimillionaire from his days leading
Goldman Sachs, made the announcement after the governor posed Thursday
for photos and told The Associated Press: "I'm the most blessed person
who ever lived."

The Democrat's decision to pay for his own health care from the April 12
accident spares taxpayers a hefty tab.

"He's been fortunate in life and there's no reason to have taxpayers
foot the bill," spokesman Anthony Coley said.

Corzine is otherwise covered by the state's medical insurance plan, like
all state workers.

"We don't know yet the total cost of his care right now, but we expect
it will be hundreds of thousands of dollars," Coley said. "From the
Medevac helicopter to the hospital stay to the cheeseburgers to the
strawberry milkshakes, the governor intends to pay for all of it himself."

The 60-year-old governor's SUV was being driven by a state trooper at 91
mph when it was clipped by a truck and lost control on the Garden State
Parkway, slamming into a guard rail. Corzine wasn't wearing his seat
belt, as required by state law.
