NH Medicaid Matters is a coalition pf 80+ organizations committed to protecting health care coverage for hundreds of thousands of Granite Staters through Medicaid 

Changes are being made to New Hampshire's Medicaid programs, implementing new eligibility, work requirements and cost-sharing policies following changes to state and federal laws

Our lawmakers need to hear stories from Granite Staters to understand the importance of Medicaid and prevent harmful impacts of policy changes.

Why Medicaid Matters

Changing Medicaid will take away health care from the very people the program was intended to protect. In New Hampshire, you likely know someone who receives health care through Medicaid — your friend and their young children, your parent or grandparent in a nursing home, your neighbor, waitstaff at your favorite restaurant. Rushed and sweeping changes won't make health care more affordable, it will just raise costs for everyone.

"Summarizing what Medicaid means for our family is not easy as it is not just something that is “nice to have” but absolutely critical for our physical, emotional and financial well being." 

​

One of our twin sons, Jack, was diagnosed in utero with a congenital heart defect, which has led to numerous medical and developmental challenges. Medicaid ensures that my son can see all 14 of his specialists without us having to worry about sacrificing the best care for financial reasons. It covers necessary testing, surgeries, and procedures that help keep him stable."
