Results for healthcare
Kelly November 13, 2009 healthcare, uninsured
I provide anesthesia and have seen a sharp drop off of people getting preventative care. It seems that people are only coming in to have procedures done that are absolutely necessary. There is very little preventative care being done. Nurses and other healthcare providers have to take unpaid days off. Hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers are finding it harder and harder to keep healthcare in rural areas. From what I have seen and heard it is because of high deductibles and/or no healthcare coverage making it very difficult for people to pay for healthcare. [more]
Lucy Edwards August 4, 2009 healthcare, property taxes
The hardest thing for my family over the last couple of years has been the increasing cost of healthcare and NH's insistence on funding education with local property taxes. I am one of those who is trying to continue working past 65. My husband is retired. We have pretty good health insurance in terms of coverage from my work, but the cost goes up faster than my pay. I can't really afford to retire until the mortgage is paid off.

Briefing Room
The market for single family homes showed little change in February compared to the month before.
Just about exactly the same number of homes changed hands from one month to the next. January’s total was 529 and February’s was 536. The median price in February fell about 7% to stand at 200,000 dollars.
Homes stayed on the market a few days less but on average, it still took about four and half months to sell a house. Coupled with low interest rates, this remains a good time for buyers.
The February unemployment rate was 7.1% for NH. This is one tenth of a percent higher than in January, seasonally adjusted. The number of unemployed residents increased by 670 over-the-month to 52,880. This was 11,970 more unemployed than in February 2009. From January 2010 to February 2010, the total labor force increased by 3,190 to 746,400. This was an increase of 3,790 from February 2009.
