CONCORD - State Rep. Cindy Rosenwald (D-Nashua), chair of the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs Committee, issued the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal of a lower federal court ruling that upheld New Hampshire's prescription privacy law:
"This is good for the state because we are concerned about the ever-growing costs of the prescription drugs we pay for. This is good for everybody, whether they pay with private insurance or in cash.
"It's also good for patient safety, because the newest drug is not always the safest one. And, if I were a patient, I would be more confident knowing my physician was working on my behalf and not being influenced by others."
Governor Lynch (email release):
"New Hampshire's prescription privacy law helps protect the privacy of doctor-patient relationships and helps stabilize health care costs. The decision today by the U.S. Supreme Court, and the decisions of lower courts, affirms our belief that this law is an important step in improving our health care system."
Now, I'm used to seeing Northern New England lead the way for the rest of the country. But I'm less used to New Hampshire leading the way for Northern New England. This is a wonderful sentence to read:
New Hampshire became the first state to adopt such a law in 2006. Since then, Maine and Vermont have enacted similar laws, the companies said.
