The proposal calls for a slight rise of about $10 to most co-pay costs, but the co-pay for mental health and substance abuse inpatient services would more than double, from $50 to $125, according to the report.
The proposal has ignited mixed-feelings among N.H. lawmakers.
“I strongly oppose asking very low-income people and families to somehow pay even more money for basic healthcare, including needed substance abuse treatment,” said Sen. Dan Feltes (D-Concord).
Other lawmakers disagree, arguing proposed co-pay costs are not unreasonable.
The plan has yet to be signed off by the Joint Legislative Fiscal Committee, composed of representatives from both parties.
