NH's Health Care Exchange Still Up in the Air

Exchanges are the marketplaces where consumers will basically window-shop the various health care policies available in different states.

The Federal government granted each state funds to begin studying and implementing these exchanges, but New Hampshire’s Executive Council gave that money back, nearly $1,000,000.

Republicans, including House Speaker Bill O’Brien, say that the exchanges will simply cost too much to run. He points to the experience of other New England states.

Ovide Lamontagne, the current front runner, says that as Governor, he would do everything possible to slow down or block the law’s implementation.

The Health Care Law's Legacy

Lead in text: 
While the future of the Affordable Care Act is unclear, some of the changes may be here to stay. President of Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center Jim Weinstein is focusing on the improvement of patient care over providing more care. NHPR's Dan Gorenstein reporting for Marketplace has more.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock President Jim Weinstein shows me the painting; it's a glass of orange juice, about half full. I've missed the point, says Weinstein. "It isn't half full or half empty. It's the wrong glass. And right now we have the wrong glass for health care." That's Weinstein's way of saying the $3 trillion health care system is broken. That the system is set up to reward more care rather than better care.
