Issue Position: Govt. Role in Health Care
Issue Position
Issues: Health and Health Care
We need a rational way to put focus on affordability, patient safety and access to care or face the fact that our current path will continue to drive increases in our uncompensated care rates. This high uncompensated care level has increased private health insurance premiums for families to the highest levels in the nation.
New Hampshire and the federal government need policy to stimulate public/ private partnerships in health care delivery reform. We need to change our current direction through these partnerships and reward innovation and improvements toward integrated health care systems in our state. Only through new policy direction will we achieve the changes needed in the system.
