New Hampshire Increases Access to Health Care for 42,000 Residents
April 7, 2014
New Hampshire became the most recent state to increase access to health care for low-income residents. The legislature passed a law directing the state to accept federal money to help people purchase insurance coverage through private health care companies.
The bipartisan plan will provide health coverage for an estimated 42,000 residents. It's expected to reduce overall health care costs and save millions of taxpayer dollars being spent treating uninsured people in emergency rooms.
For many hardworking cancer patients who have been bankrupted by medical expenses, this new option will be their only access to quality health care. Extending coverage also provides hardworking, low-income Granite Staters with access to necessary cancer screening and detection.
Congratulations to the New Hampshire volunteers for their incredible work in helping pass this legislation.
