7:00 pm

7:01 pm
care. >> fox news reporting, live free or die, obamacare in new hampshire. now from the state capital of concord, brett baier. >> live free or die. that's the motto of new hampshire and right now there is a life and death political struggle going on here that reflects the national furor over the affordable care act, better known as obamacare, a law that is already reshaping health care in new hampshire and is part of a larger battle that may reshape the senate this fall. i've traveled here to the granite state to discover just what effect obamacare is having on these fiercely independent people. as you'll see, there are a lot of different opinions. but this much is certain, it's shaking things up. >> rochester, new hampshire, home to 63-year-old grandmother, margaret mccarthy. >> i'm not a lawyer.
7:02 pm
i'm not a political activist. i'm just an ordinary person that would like to have affordable insurance coverage that would allow me to continue to see the doctors that i know and trust. >> reporter: mrs. mccarthy is a retired bookkeeper who for years has purchased her own health insurance policy. >> right now i pay approximately $2500 deductible. >> reporter: like millions of amerq8k]é1j%5erjv(p)thy has discovered after obamacare if she wants to keep an equivalent insurance policy, she's going to have to pay a lot more. an extra $3,000 a year in premiums and a deductible of $3,000, a more than 30% increase. that's partly because the health reform law requires insurers to provide more features and to cover everyone, no matter how
7:03 pm
high risk and that costs money. margaret who has a chronic intestinal condition gets her facility. >> it's convenient. it is three, four miles away. i have a high level of trust for the doctors in this facility. i've been seeing these doctors for the past 15 years. we've built up a relationship. we have a rapport. >> reporter: but when we first caught up with mccarthy in february she was concerned that may soon change. frisbie is one of the hospitals that has been excluded from the obamacare insurance exchange under what is known as a narrow network plan being implemented by the state's biggest insurance company, anthem blue cross.xfe;ç experts say this narrow network phenomenon is a consequence of obamacare. insurers facing the higher cost
7:04 pm
of covering more people squeeze money out of the system by dealing with fewer health care providers and paying them less. these doctors and hospitals in turn make up for the lost money with volume. in the form of new patients, coming from those health care providers who have been excluded from the network. >> the fact that you have the inability as a consumer to go to a doctor they might want to go to is a direct result of the standardized plans that are required to be offered as a result of the aca. >> reporter: chris condeluci was present at the creation of obamacare, working for the senate finance committee that drafted the legislation. >> that is translating into a narrow network and limited ability for consumers policyholders to get the medical care that they need. >> i'm not sure what my -- >> reporter: mrs. mccarthy may be priced out of her own hospital. >> i won't be able to come to pá
7:05 pm
frisbie hospital. i won't be able to see my internist. i won't be able to see my gynecologist. i won't be able to have the same surgeons i've had in the past. i can't get my lab work done here in rochester. ypo5 >> it's eliminated a third of the hospitals in the state of new hampshire. >> reporter: al felgar, ceo of the frisbie hospital system is all aware of the narrow network. >> it's about 350,000 people in those service areas or those hospitals. our state is only 1.3 million. >> you took out a billboard criticizing the affordable care act. is this kind of activism a normal thing for you? >> no. hospital people are supposed to be conservative. and mild mannered and so on. but then -- this one -- but when i heard this rollout of this obamacare, i was incensed. >> reporter: angry enough he petitioned the state insurance commission to hold a hearing on the matter.j> 2
7:06 pm
his co-petitioner, margaret mccarthy. >> it doesn't seem fair that this new network was decided in secrecy and only made known to consumers a few short months ago. it doesn't make sense i should have to drive past my local hospital and doctors to seek health care in another community. >> reporter: the hearing was held in concord, the state capital, in february. >> we, the public are being denied access to the doctors. >> why the people are really mad is they were promised by the president of the united states that they could keep their v.e health care insurance and they h were told that they can keep their hospital and doctor and it has not happened. >> i felt validated that there were other people that said the same things that i've been thinking for months now.
7:07 pm
>> reporter: one of the reasons citizens were up in arms was that the new system wasn't supposed to work this way. >> you keep your insurance if you like it. it will increase choices for families. it will promote competition. >> reporter: jean shaheen, the democratic senator from new hampshire had echoed the president when it came to the promises of the affordable care act. >> one thing for the government to understand is don't tell me something is true and then i find out it's not. >> reporter: rogers johnson has been a health care consultant for 32 years. >> don't tell me it's affordable and it's not. don't tell me i can go to this hospital when i can't. when i know that what you're telling me is not true i then question the individuals who >> reporter: but in fact this wasn't the first time jean shaheen waded into the waters of health care reform. in the mid-90s then state senator shaheen, led a reform effort that created a prototype
7:08 pm
for obamacare. according to critics of shaheen's plan, the results were devastating. the law drove up premium and drove insurers out of the state. the same critics claim the affordable care act which superceded state laws has made matters worse. not only is there less competition so far, the narrow networks are narrower than expected. >> prior to january 1, 2014 you had access to a nationwide network of all providers and hospitals. >> reporter: based in hampstead, new hampshire, tom hart is the president of the national association of health underwriters and he says the new obamacare network doesn't cover out of state treatment except for emergencies. >> that's a big difference for someone who lives in new hampshire because many people prefer to have access to boston-based facilities or massachusetts hospitals. >> reporter: senator shaheen who
7:09 pm
is up for re-election wouldn't talk to us. but when she speaks in public these days, she doesn't seem to want credit for obamacare. >> i would have designed it differently if i had been designing it. but i wasn't the person who was writing the law. hindsight is always 20/20. >> but we spoke to someone happy to defend it. >> the narrow networks problem is an insurance company problem not a law, aca problem? >> that's correct. >> ron pollack director of liberal health care advocacy group, families usa as well as a man who is helping to sell the affordable care act saysfyç the law's opponents have the wrong culprit. >> the aca is encouraging more insurers to come into the plans in that marketplace. now anthem is no longer going to be alone and more insurance companies are coming in. that's going to create the
7:10 pm
competition that's going to improve this. >> that's not going to resolve the narrow network problem. those new four carriers could all be offering narrow network plans instead of competing with each other on developing a more robust plan. so the new entrants to the market is not going to solve the narrow network prom. >> reporter: while new hampshire waits, margaret mccarthy worries. >> i have to have blood work done every six months or so. this is savings that i'm spending. i have to draw down my retirement funds b before i ívz thought i'd have to so i can pay >> reporter: we'll have more of margaret mccarthy's story later. but first, someone's got to pay for your insurance plan. who should foot the bill?6&s that's after the break. ♪
