  • Statement of Speaker Terie Norelli on Medicaid Expansion Commission Report
    For Immediate Release October 15, 2013 CONTACT: Mario Piscatella (603) 271­3664 [email protected] Statement of Speaker Terie Norelli on Medicaid Expansion Commission Report CONCORD­ Earlier today the Commission to Study Medicaid Expansion voted to approve their final report. Speaker Terie Norelli issued the following statement: “The Commission did a tremendous amount of work, analyzing a variety of options and considering potential outcomes. They worked hard to find the best possible solution for New Hampshire and we owe them our gratitude for their thorough efforts.” “I would like to thank Representative Cindy Rosenwald and Dr. Travis Harker for the time, effort, and wisdom they gave to the commission and Representative Tom Sherman, M.D. for stepping forward with a compromise proposal that received strong support in the committee.” “Through the private insurer based managed care system and an expansion of the Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) Program, the Commission’s recommended New Hampshire Access to Health Program would maximize private coverage and minimize cost to the state. I look forward to continuing to work together with Senate Leadership and Governor Hassan to reach an agreement to expand access to healthcare for working families across the state.” Earlier today Governor Maggie Hassan announced that she will ask the Executive Council on Wednesday to support calling a special session for November 7 through November 21, dates discussed with and agreed to by the Governor, Senate President Chuck Morse and Speaker Terie Norelli. # # #.

  • January 16, 2018 Chris Sununu Governor of New Hampshire 107
    January 16, 2018 Chris Sununu Jeb Bradley Governor of New Hampshire New Hampshire Senate Majority Leader 107 North Main Street 107 North Main Street Concord, NH 03303 Concord, NH 03303 Chuck Morse Gene Chandler New Hampshire Senate President New Hampshire Speaker of the House 107 North Main Street 107 North Main Street Concord, NH 03303 Concord, NH 03303 Dear Governor Sununu, Senator Morse, Senator Bradley, and Speaker Chandler, In the coming months, the New Hampshire legislature will be responsible for reauthorizing our state's Medicaid Expansion, the New Hampshire Health Protection Plan, a program that currently covers more than 50,000 Granite Staters. Medicaid Expansion provides vital services to those who wouldn’t be able to afford health insurance on their own. It also plays a crucial role during the opioid crisis, with more than 20,000 Granite Staters having accessed Substance Use Disorder treatment services through the program. It is vital that Republicans and Democrats alike come together and reauthorize a clean version of Medicaid Expansion. Our objective is simple: reauthorize Medicaid Expansion so that nobody loses their health insurance. Every single one of those more than 50,000 New Hampshire residents who rely on the program for quality care must be able to continue to rely on this program after the reauthorization. That is our bottom line and fundamental guarantee. This should be a simple decision for New Hampshire Republicans, who have pledged to work to reauthorize the program as well. Hopefully Republicans join us in the understanding that any reauthorization that kicks people off of insurance isn’t really reauthorization at all; it’s a partial repeal and that is simply unacceptable.
