Health
Health policies have enormous impacts on the lives on Granite Staters. Federal programs such as Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program have critical roles in the health and well-being of many Granite State children and families.

NHFPI strives to explain the effects of health policy decisions, both federal and state, upon the New Hampshire budget and New Hampshire residents and to explore changes in policies that could help maintain and improve people’s health, now and into the future.
