T.11 :03 the bill would allow the state of NH to bring drugs from one part of the state and bring them to the other where they were needed. What it does is stop people from being greedy and charging hundreds of thousands of dollars for what we need to take. Still reimburse them on a fair basis. If all the drugs we needed were in Keene, and the druggist up in Keene said that drug that was worth $50, I now want $1000, we would be able to grab the stuff and bring it to wherever is necessary. There doesn't appear to be any language that directly addresses reimbursement. In regards to rationing, the bill reads that the commissioner shall have the discretion to take custody of all supplies...to ensure that such agents are distributed and utilized appropriately. SB 399 also establishes a ethics committee to assist the commissioner and governor in making difficult decisions in the middle of a pandemic. Difficult decisions, says Manchester Public Health Director Fred Rusek, like who should receive medicine in the case of a shortage. 12:16 ethically, it's not about first come first serve to receive pharmaceuticals to protect ones health. The greater good is served if we can make certain helath care providers who are directly exposed they are protected...that there are others in the critical infrastructure that are protected. Like police and fire. And these are folks that are more important than I am. Rusek supports the bill. He says even though Manchester may have to surrender its medicine supply to another community, in the long run that will only benefit Manchester residents. He says if the Legislature doesn't pass some kind of plan, the state could face price gouging and chaos if a pandemic hit. 13:57 in the absence of any state control then we are really dealing with a situation of supply being at the driving force. And community that have the supply, and people who can afford the supply there might be things like personal stockpiling, and what have you that might ultimately reduce the amount of vaccine available to combat a flu outbreak. Rusek says he suspects a flu epidemic is likely at some point in the future. And he hopes the state is prepared. 10:13 ... It's our job to make sure as communities at the state level and federal level, we are doing the best to be prepared for what some folks say is inevitable. The full Senate is expected to vote on the measure this afternoon. For NHPR News, I'm DG. , 1, |

ArchivesDam Owners Ask State Lawmakers for Financial HelpBy David Darman on Thursday, February 23, 2006.New Hampshire officials in charge of more than 250 aging dams have told lawmakers they need at least one million dollars to repair them. It could take millions more to fix the hundreds of dams in private hands in the state that also need repairs.
