This bill would help ensure that our Granite Staters have the transparency they need to make informed decisions regarding healthcare in NH. Adequate decisions can not be made unless the Health and Human Resources Commissioner prepares and publishes a report that would detail the number of Granite Staters whose health care coverage will be impacted when the recently enacted Federal and State changes go into effect. This report should also detail the effects on hospitals, health centers and area agencies, including closures of facilities and/or reduction in services. This report should include the impact nonlocal and state budgets. In the interest of transparency, this bill should be passed. Thank you for your consideration. Melanie Leathers Bradford
