Overview:
Ensuring access to health and health care for
all the people of New Hampshire requires deep system change at multiple levels—local,
state, regional and national. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) will bring much
needed change to an expensive health care system that has left many out and hasn’t
always promoted health, prevented disease, or provided high-quality care. There
is a need to ensure that implementation
of the ACA, as well as other health reforms related to Medicaid and ongoing
policy conversations within our state, will lead to the development of a high-quality,
cost-effective health system for all, especially our most vulnerable and
underserved populations. This requires availability
of objective, factual information about important health policy and systems
issues as well as public discourse and education about issues
