“The dairy industry plays a key role in New Hampshire’s economy, and its farmers deserve our support,” said Congressman Paul Hodes. “It is long past time for New Hampshire’s dairy farmers to receive the assistance they were promised.”
“New Hampshire seniors have the right to see the doctor they wish to see,” said Congressman Hodes. “This plan will keep doctors’ offices open to provide the care that Medicare beneficiaries need. As we continue to work towards meaningful health insurance reform, I remain committed to expanding choice, lowering costs, and putting Granite Staters back in control of their health care. Fixing the way that Medicare pays physicians is a critical piece of that plan.”
“The Preventative Services Task Force recommendations should not, under any circumstances, be used by insurance companies to deny women the care that they need. New studies and research will constantly change the way that physicians battle diseases like breast cancer. While we continue the fight for a cure, I will keep working for strict rules on insurance companies and expanded access to health insurance that will allow every woman and her doctor to make the right decision for her.”
