U.S. Sens. Hassan and Shaheen: Lowering your health costs

The COVID-19 pandemic shone a light on just how important it is that all Granite Staters have meaningful access to quality health care. Key to this access is affordable health insurance. Many people have faced new physical and mental health challenges amid the pandemic, and health insurance has connected them with the resources and care that they need to improve their lives.

As we emerge from the health and economic crisis caused by the pandemic, we need to continue making progress toward the goal of affordable health coverage for every American. And we are glad to report that the recently passed American Rescue Plan includes provisions that move us closer to that aim. These provisions are lowering the cost of health insurance for people in New Hampshire and across the country — making the biggest improvement to the Affordable Care Act in more than a decade.
