Democrats Prepare to Defend The NH Health Insurance Monopoly
The hearing for SB 150 is today at 9 AM. SB 150 is similar to a House bill (HB 241- also here) that would allow anyone to contract with any insurer outside the state with the exception that the Senate version allows the State Commissioner some rule making, documentation and dispute resolution powers.
