For the Monitor

By Christopher Nicolopoulos & D.J. Bettencourt

In the fall of 2017, New Hampshire’s individual health insurance market was in jeopardy. Nationally, some states were seeing all participating insurers exit the individual market, leaving Americans with no options to purchase an individual market health plan. The Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) vision for a reformed individual market was wobbling under the weight of increased costs and financial losses that made the market unsustainable for both consumers and insurers. The ACA needed a change, but Congress was gridlocked over how to approach it.

NAIFA-New Hampshire Members,

My name is Nate Lehman, CAE, and it is indeed my pleasure to have been appointed as the Interim Executive Director of NAIFA-New Hampshire. 

The most important resource in any organization is the people who make it up. NAIFA-New Hampshire is no different and we need your help. We're looking for members who desire to get involved and help to shape the future direction of this chapter... Your chapter. 

This year, members of the NH House of Representatives were able to file bills for the 2022 legislative session between September 13 and September 17. House members provide information to professional staff at the State House who assist them in developing language for their legislation. Once the staff receives the request for drafting, a one sentence summary of their ideas are made public. While few specifics are available, you can get a sense of the topics on which the legislators will focus in the upcoming session. In addition, you can determine the volume of bills.
