To The Editor:

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion over whether or not New Hampshire should push forward with the Medicaid Expansion. This is currently being considered in the New Hampshire Senate.

I hope that my state Sen. Peter Bragdon is listening. We need to include Medicaid Expansion in the state budget.

Medicaid Expansion will be good for New Hampshire and especially the low-income working families who cannot afford health care right now.

The expansion will provide quality health care including preventative care for more than 50,000 Granite Staters.

Sen. Bragdon is well known for being a fiscal conservative and the Medicaid Expansion bill makes good fiscal sense as well.

The expansion will create hundreds of new jobs in the health care industry. The expansion will bring billions of dollars into the state and that will help to strengthen the New Hampshire economy.

As a resident of Merrimack, I implore Sen. Bragdon to support Medicaid Expansion.

I encourage his constituents in Amherst, Merrimack, Milford and Wilton to do so as well. He can be reached at 271-8472.
