NH Medicaid bill clears House, moves to Senate

The New Hampshire House of Representatives this week voted to reauthorize the state’s Medicaid expansion alternative, which provides private health coverage to more than 48,000 low-income uninsured residents. “This is one of the most significant, bipartisan pieces of legislation that our Legislators will face this year, and we applaud their efforts for passing this bill onto the Senate,” said New Hampshire Hospital Association President Steve Ahnen. “Their commitment to addressing one of the biggest challenges facing our businesses and health care system today is commendable, and we look forward to continuing this progress in the Senate.”
