NH Watchdog Poll- Health Insurance Exchanges Blocked
Print This Post
This week, Governor John Lynch signed HB 1297 into law, blocking New Hampshire from creating a Health Insurance Exchange under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known as ObamaCare. Supporters, including Lynch at one points, argued that the state should set up an exchange in order to avoid federal mandates. Opponents countered that a state exchange would only have the illusion of local control, while leaving New Hampshire taxpayers on the hook.
Are you glad NH will not set up a Health Insurance Exchange under ObamaCare?
- Yes, it would have been an expensive bureaucracy. (61%, 11 Votes)
- No, now the feds will set one up themselves without local input. (39%, 7 Votes)
Total Voters: 18

Healthcare is not subject to normal market forces! Anything that you have to buy at any random moment in order not to die is not something to which a rational supply/demand calculus can apply. Check out “Penny Health” articles on how to reduce the cost of insurance.
