"New Hampshire's Insurance Department is telling a nine-member commission that subsidizing private insurance to cover poor adults eligible for Medicaid would be difficult.The commission is charged with recommending by Oct. 15 whether New Hampshire should expand Medicaid to an estimated 49,000 poor adults under the federal overhaul law. The panel has been holding a series of meetings to gather information about possible options if the state decides to expand the program including whether federal Medicaid money can be used to pay private insurers to cover the adults.The Insurance Department said the private coverage option would have to be voluntary to avoid getting a waiver from the federal law. The coverage also would have to be comparable to what Medicaid provides."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
