Several thousand New Hampshire Medicaid patients find themselves without health care providers.The non-profit health system which had been caring for them has rebelled decisively against state cuts to their reimbursement for treating the indigent patients.
When the disenfranchised patients end up in the emergency room,however,the cost of treating them will be much higher than it is now.That is the most expensive form of health care.
The situation in New Hampshire is perhaps occurring elsewhere under the radar.If not,it may well soon be happening.It just points up the dysfunction in the health care system today.
