Save the New Hampshire JUA: Senator Sharon Carson-- A true supporter of policyholders

Protect Private Property

In 2009, Governor Lynch and primarily Democratic legislators passed a law which attempted to take $110 million from a privately funded medical malpractice fund. The state never contributed any money to this fund. All the monies were paid by healthcare providers from around the state. The New Hampshire Supreme Court held that law unconstitutional because it violated the vested property rights of the policyholders (Click here to see court opinion). Governor Lynch has refused to obey this law and continues efforts to take these funds from the owners. Many citizens and organizations fearful of this unconstitutional assualt on private property have provided important support to the JUA policyholders. This site recognizes these efforts.

Senator Sharon Carson-- A true supporter of policyholders

Senator Carson's Article from October 16, 2009

Last year, while the JUA case was on appeal to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, Senator Sharon Carson wrote in support of the constitutional rights of policyholders and the need to protect those rights. More recently, Senator Carson has been leading the effort to ensure that private property-- including the JUA surplus-- is protected for the healthcare community that paid these funds. Thanks for your continued support Senator.
