Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement on the New Hampshire House of Representatives' bipartisan vote to reauthorize the New Hampshire Health Protection Program:

"The bipartisan New Hampshire Health Protection Program is strengthening the health and financial security of more than 48,000 hard-working Granite Staters, reducing healthcare cost-shifting onto all of our people and businesses, and playing an important role in combating the heroin and opioid crisis by providing substance abuse and behavioral health services to thousands of people."

"It is clear that our bipartisan expansion plan is making a real difference for hard-working Granite Staters and boosting our economy, and we know that reauthorization remains essential to increasing substance abuse treatment capacity in New Hampshire. I applaud the House of Representatives for its second bipartisan vote to reauthorize the New Hampshire Health Protection Program, and I will continue working with members of both parties and the federal government to reauthorize this critical program as it makes its way through the legislative process."
