Healthcare

The Center has published extensively on the topic of healthcare finance and publishes an index of New Hampshire's population without health insurance coverage.

The NH Center for Public Policy Studies has been conducting research under grants from the Endowment for Health. This research focuses on public polices and private practices that affect the cost of health care, where it is provided, who gets it, and who pays for it. The ultimate goal of the project is to identify policies and practices that would maintain or enhance every resident’s ability to obtain quality health care at a reasonable price.

As part of our health care finance research supported by the Endowment for Health, we have looked at New Hampshire's Medicaid program, including trends, coverage, and reforms.
