Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

That the general court hereby urges Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Hampshire to extend its coverage in its participation in the health exchange to include one hospital in every county in New Hampshire; and

That the house clerk send copies of this resolution to the governor, the speaker of the house of representatives, the senate president, and the chief executive officer and board of directors of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Hampshire.
