Maggie Hassan in 2022 NH Senate race

On Families & Children: Hassan bill preventing child abuse passes Senate

The U.S. Senate has passed a new bipartisan bill from Sen. Maggie Hassan that focuses on preventing child abuse. In a statement, Hassan said, in part: "This bipartisan bill will help ensure that adults working with children can spot the signs of abuse--and act to address it--and help young people know what to do if they are experiencing abuse or hear that a friend is in trouble. Our bill will help to save children's lives, and I urge the House to quickly pass this bill." Source: WCAX on 2022 New Hampshire Senate race Aug 5, 2022

On Health Care: Broaden enforcement of law against surprise medical bills

The new law limiting surprise medical bills doesn't apply to all kinds of health care providers.

Sen. Maggie Hassan is pushing the Biden administration to apply the new law against surprise medical bills to more kinds of health care providers. "Patients shouldn't need to question every doctor and nurse who treats them, nor should they have to parse through regulatory language to determine if a specific facility is covered by this law," Hassan wrote in a letter.

On Abortion: Right to abortion in jeopardy if GOP controls Congress

[Republican opponent Don Bolduc] railed Hassan for her focus on the right to an abortion. "She just wants to hang on with dear life. Well, guess what? Your views are not consistent with the average Granite Stater, number one. Number two, get over it. This is about the economy," Bolduc said.

Hassan has campaigned on the notion that the right to abortion is in jeopardy in all 50 states if Republicans gain control of Congress. Bolduc, though, said if elected, he would not support a 15-week abortion ban recently proposed by Sen. Lindsey Graham. "I would vote no on that because the federal government is way too much in our business. Granite Staters will be better served by working through their legislature to address that issue, not the federal government," Bolduc said.

The Hassan campaign released a digital ad on Monday that focuses on Bolduc's "get over it" comment.
