Letter To The Editor

 

New Hampshire is in crisis. Every day more and more Granite Staters fall victim to an opioid addiction and can’t get the treatment they need to overcome these tragic circumstances.

 

As a state, we have been proactive in our attempts to combat this crisis and provide help to those who need it. But we can’t do this alone; we need help from our federal government.

 

Unfortunately, by the looks of the most recent Senate healthcare bill, help isn’t coming to the extent that we need it. The senate allocated $45 billion to help opioids. Republican Governor John Kasich of Ohio compared this money to “spitting in the ocean” in terms of its effectiveness and some say it’s only in the bill to earn the votes it needs to pass, not to actually solve the problem. 

 

Adding onto the limited opioid funds, the cuts to Medicaid will force tens of thousands of Granite Staters off health insurance, denying them access to the treatment they need.

 

When Granite Staters are healthy, our state can thrive. Instead of eliminating funds, we need to work together to win this battle against opioids so New Hampshire and the people in it can reach their full potential.
