In this episode of New Hampshire Uncharted, host Gene Martin sits down with two of New Hampshire’s leading experts on health care policy to unpack a question that concerns every household, business, and budget in the Granite State: Why is health care so expensive here – and what can we do about it?
Deborah Fournier, Director of Health Law and Policy at the UNH Institute for Health Policy and Practice and a former director of New Hampshire’s Medicaid program, and Jennifer Frizzell, Director of the New Hampshire Health Care Cost Initiative, explore the root causes of high prices in New Hampshire’s health care system – from hospital consolidation and aging demographics to gaps in data and transparency – and highlight policy solutions that other states have used to rein in costs.
