CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s Senate is considering whether the state should form an interstate compact to assume control for health care within state boundaries.
The House passed the bill in March that proposes that New Hampshire join with other states in delivering health care to its residents. Under the bill, the states would receive block grants from the federal government and would take over Medicare and Medicaid. Congress would have to approve the compact for it to take effect.
