House preliminarily approves two-year extension for Medicaid expansion
CONCORD — The House made some significant changes to a bill that would extend Medicaid expansion for two more years.
The House voted 207-136 to preliminarily approve House Bill 1696, which will have to return to the House for a final vote after the Finance Committee reviews the bill.
The House voted down several amendments aimed at scuttling the bill before approving changes to require a person on the program be a state resident and participants would not open a person to a federal background check.
Supporters said the New Hampshire Health Protection Program has had a significant impact on the health of low-income adults on the program, as well providing treatment and recovery services to those suffering from drug and alcohol addiction.
