"A week before the state Senate is scheduled to vote on a compromise bill that will increase health insurance coverage to some of the state poorest residents, some in the Republican grassroots are letting their party leaders know they are not happy.The latest count is that six local Republican committees, including two full county committees, have expressed their displeasure with the bill, which was agreed upon by the state Senate Republican and Democratic leaders.Over the past week the list of Republican committees who took a vote against the bill includes Bedford, Merrimack, Plaistow, Manchester and Strafford and Rockingham counties.Interestingly the issue came up Monday night at the state Republican Executive Committee where three members in particular called for a similar resolution to be passed, but no vote was taken.Tonight Republicans will gather in Epping to get a \"legislative update\" and could pass a resolution there as well.As part of the Affordable Care Act aiming to get every American health insurance coverage, the federal government is making money available to expand Medicaid for some of the state's poorest residents just above the poverty rate.In New Hampshire, Republican state Senate leaders decided to sign on to a plan that uses the federal money to buy private insurance, but not expand the Medicaid program.Some on the grassroots are still calling it it Medicaid expansion and are opposing it. Logistically though it appears the bill has enough Republican votes to pass the Senate and will likely also be approved by the Democratically-led House and Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
