How the federal shutdown is affecting New Hampshire

from N.H. News Recap

There are over 9,000 federal employees working here in New Hampshire, and a number of services and programs that could be disrupted under this federal government shutdown. At the heart of the shutdown is a fight over health policy. Democrats are seeking to continue health insurance subsidies established through the Affordable Care Act. Republicans say there’s time to negotiate on those subsidies later. In New Hampshire, marketplace experts are preparing people to expect higher health care premiums whether or not subsidies through the Affordable Care Act are extended. We talk about these stories and more on this edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with the Boston Globe's Amanda Gokee and NHPR's Olivia Richardson.
