Older New Hampshire Voters Most Concerned about Health Care
By admin on Nov 24, 2007 in Politics
New Hampshire politics are getting grayer and the biggest issue for 2008 seems to be health care.
Since New Hampshire is a state most presidential candidates take very seriously, the concerns of its citizens generally symbolize those of the entire election.
Because New Hampshire now has a population of 25 percent over th age of 55, aging health care issues will get plenty of promises.
One fact everyone does agree on is that fixing the health care system will not be easy.
New Hampshire elderly, regardless of Republican or Democrat leanings, are not impressed with quick solutions.
But Robert Marquis, 63, gives a haunting quote.
"Civilizations are always concerned with how you treat your old and infirm, and your children," he says. "And we’re in a lot of trouble."
That’s one way of looking at it, but perhaps, could we be expecting too much from the government?
Exploring other options such as cutting costs, keeping people healthier, and providing adequate insurance as well as tort reforms should also be considered in the ongoing debate in New Hampshire as well as for the rest of the country.
