The website for the New Hampshire Executive Council explains, "Councilors are elected to serve as advocates for the people." Here's what our advocates had to say when asked to begin the process of setting up a state health insurance exchange required by the Affordable Care Act.
Councilor Christopher Sununu, R-Newfields:
"It makes no sense to do this at this time, against the exchange and Obamacare," he said. "No one has yet to prove to me even remotely closely that either would work . . . It's a debacle."
Councilor David Wheeler, R-Milford:
"I think it's really clear that it really ain't going to happen as written, and based on the U.S. House vote, it will not be funded as written," he said. "It's stupid to study and create rules for the exchanges until we know exactly what's going to happen."
Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny promises to spend more time with the Executive Council to explain the implications of the proposal. Says Sununu, "I feel I know everything I need to know."
