Local Rep Calls for Health Exchange Approval
N.H. has an opportunity to enter into a partnership with federal government to administer a health exchange, but the deadline to act is approaching.

Here is some background on health exchanges. Last year the (Republican controlled) NH legislature passed a law preventing NH from creating it own state - administered health exchange. Governor Hassan has until February 15 (this coming Friday) to decide whether or not we want to enter into a partnership with the federal government to administer the exchange that will be in place by January 1, 2014. I hope she chooses to do so.
