Obamacare Abuzz in Social Media, NH Politics

The reported surge in last-minute enrollment in the Affordable Care Act is matched only by the fervor of New Hampshire politics, as social media burns away with mentions of "Obamacare" and its supporters and foes.

New Hampshire Republicans and Democrats traded their share of barbs March 31, the deadline for open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act. Former Sen. Scott Brown, a Rye Republican exploring a run for his party's nomination and a chance to challenge U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, was among those taking to Twitter to criticize "Obamacare."

New Hampshire uses the federal healthcare marketplace. Through February, 21,578 individuals had signed up for a marketplace plan, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
