NH’s Shaheen to business leaders: Health care reform needed to save jobs, protect families
San Francisco Examiner – Associated Press
09/18/09BEDFORD, N.H. — Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., told New England business leaders Friday that health care reform is needed — and soon — because escalating health care costs are hobbling American manufacturers, forcing small businesses to drop health care coverage and landing families in bankruptcy court.
“There are powerful interests on all sides of that debate,” she told about 90 members of the New England Council, including health care industry representatives. “Some stand to win. Some stand to lose.”
