MANCHESTER, NH – Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter (NH-01) issued the following statement regarding news that 40,262 Granite Staters and more than 8 million Americans in total have enrolled in private health insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act:
“The Affordable Care Act has turned a corner in New Hampshire. The rollout was rocky, and I made my frustration well known, but it’s great news that 40,262 Granite Staters and over 8 million people nationwide have signed up for private health insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act’s Marketplaces.
“Today’s announcement, combined with recent passage of a bipartisan plan to expand Medicaid to 50,000 Granite State citizens and news that two additional insurers plan to offer coverage on New Hampshire’s Marketplace next year, demonstrate the progress our state has made so far.
