MWV Resistance is heading out to take a stand on these issues THIS FRIDAY, November 7, 12:30-2:30pm, in North Conway during a visit to MWV by the NH Insurance Commissioner D.J. Bettencourt, who — unlike his counterparts in other states — has remained largely silent on the need for Congress to extend the enhanced premium tax credits that are set to expire this year. If the credits aren't extended, what will our state government do to keep people insured?
