NH House

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (06/08/23)?

by Judy Aron

We learned that Republican attendance still put them in the minority today as compared to the Democrat caucus. With 8 Republican members out, and 4 on the Dem side, it put the numbers around 191D-187R in the morning and hovering around 188D-182R later in the day. It is the reason some nanny state bills passed … Read more

What Do Marijuana And Medicaid Expansion Have In Common?

by Ed Mosca

It is fair to say that legalizing marijuana is the actual top priority of the NHGOP House “leadership.” And it is also fair to say that making Obamacare Medicaid Expansion permanent is the actual top priority of the NHGOP Senate leadership.

NH House

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (05/18/23)?

by Judy Aron

We learned that when 7 Republicans and 2 Democrats do not attend House session, that spells major trouble for the bills that the House Republicans want to pass. With such a slim Republican majority (201-198), attendance matters. Add in the usual few “Republicans” that routinely vote with Democrats, and that really spells trouble. Suffice it … Read more

Blue Hampshire … Where The “Conservatives” Sound Just Like The Communists (aka NH-Democrats)

by Ed Mosca

I previously posted about a “conservative” State Rep who believes that the same NH-Democrats who support late-term abortion, grooming, DEI, CRT, oppose parental rights, etc. etc. etc. are “good people”: NO. Communists (aka New Hampshire Democrats) Are Not “Good People.” Well … HE’S BACK … at NH-NeverTump Journal, that is … shilling for Obamacare … more … Read more

There Are NO “Fiscal-Conservatives” In The NH-Senate … There Are NO “Limited-Government” GOP In The NH Senate … There Are Only Frauds

by Ed Mosca

Yesterday … March 9, 2023 … every single GOP State-Senator voted to make Obamacare Medicaid Expansion PERMANENT. These NHGOP State Senators are neither fiscal conservatives nor limited-government … and to the extent that they tell you they are … they are FRAUDS.

by Judy Aron

We learned it was “Picture Day” and “Ice Cream Social Day” at the State House. Most of us lined up on the State House Steps prior to House Session to snap a “class photo”. Thanks to House Speaker Staff, and Deputy Chief of Staff Debra Childs in particular, for herding cats. It was a nice … Read more

NH Dems Look to Dump Work Requirement – But New Study Shows Work Requirements (Still) Work

by Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire Democrats want to repeal the work requirement for expanded Medicaid. The current law requires able-bodied adults to work at least part-time if they wish to participate.  This means that if you are capable of work, you should. It’s good for everyone. People who are able and work – and New Hampshire has a … Read more

If this is happening in your place (Louisiana), it’s most likely happening in our place: Medicaid Expansion fraud

by Skip

That’s right – a take off on what Doug and I used to say all the time on Meet The New Press: “if it’s happening here, it’s happening where you’re at, too” (which was a take off on former US Speaker of the House Tip O’Neal’s maxim “All politics is local”.  So I don’t know who did the deed in Louisiana but we all certainly know who to look at here in NH, eh?

‘Stunning’: 80% using Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion are ineligible, Louisiana report finds

Louisiana’s legislative auditor wanted to know how the state’s expansion of Medicaid under Obamacare was doing, so he picked 100 people who were deemed eligible under the rules. He found that 82 of them made so much money that they shouldn’t have qualified for the benefits they received. Auditor Daryl G. Purpera, who issued his findings last month to little fanfare outside of Louisiana, figured if those statistics hold true for the rest of the expanded Medicaid population in his state, then the losses to ineligible beneficiaries could be as high as $85 million.

And how large is 80% is the NH Medicaid Expansion population?  That would be 40,000 – and millions of wasted and fraudful (to coin a word) money.  “Oh, but it’s not NH money!” exclaim

Senator Boutin – “Get off my lawn!”

We don't need no stinkin platform!
We don’t need no stinkin platform!

BUMPED: from 11/20/13 – Regardless of Boutin’s word, it is clear that he voted to bring Obama’s Medicaid Expansion into New Hampshire willingly and knowingly.  He increased the size and cost of Government, contra the NH GOP Platform.  He voted with the State Senate Leadership over Republican Principles. His financial slight of hand did not go unnoticed.  Please vote for Bill Kuch in the Republican Primary on Sept 11, 2018.

Keith Erf – candidate for NH State House, Hillsborough County 2 (Weare/Deering)

by Op-Ed

I’m Keith Erf, candidate for state representative in Weare and Deering. I’m running for State representative to champion limited government. I’ve lived in Weare for 37 years. My wife, Louisa, and I raised four children here where they attended Weare schools.

I started my business, KyTek, in 1991 developing automated systems for the publishing industry. As a small business owner and member of the Weare Finance Committee, I’ve seen firsthand how NH business taxes, property taxes and expanding government negatively impacts our communities. We need representation in Concord that fights for our best interests, limiting government and taxation so current and future generations can afford to live and work in our community.

As a member of the Weare Finance Committee, I look to find a taxpayer-friendly balance between the needs of the town and schools and the costs to our residents. From the vantage point of the Finance Committee I have learned that we need representation in Concord that will avoid legislation that places costs on Weare and Deering requiring us to increase our local property taxes.

by Steve MacDonald

This isn’t exactly bad news. The head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) confirmed in a May 7 letter that New Hampshire, as of Jan. 1, 2019, will be able to require all beneficiaries of expanded Medicaid health insurance from ages 19 to 64 to participate in 100 hours per month of … Read more

Quick Thought: “Medicaid expansion passes NH House on voice vote”

by Skip

That’s the headline at the Union Leader on the NH Republican elected officials continuing Obamacare in NH, one of the most contentious pieces of legislation over the last five years.  What a weseal way of passing such legislature!  Nice, easy way to keep your constituents from holding you accountable for a package that may well lead to … Read more
