We must make sure that families know that health insurance is available for their children. New Hampshire consistently ranks as one of the best places in the country to raise a child. Compared with most other states, it has fewer children living in poverty, more immunized children and a lower rate of teenage pregnancies. We've created over 50,000 jobs in three years. Unemployment is down.
Wages are up.
New Hampshire also already has one of highest rates of insured children and adults in the nation. But every family deserves that security. No parent should have to worry about how they are going to pay to take a sick child to the doctor. No parent should have to hesitate about taking a toddler in for a checkup. Children's health care is a great investment.
