For the same reason the min wage is still $7.25 and you can't get good specialists for rare diseases here.
New Hampshire is like a father who does no childcare because he knows the mother will do it.
Many New Hampshirites don't care because they can get higher paying jobs, legal marijuana, and apppointments with rare disease doctors in nearby places.

This!! If NH were isolated, it would be ranked extremely poorly by the vast majority of metrics. The only reason we do so well on so many metrics is because of the opportunities, talent, and services offered within our region. Without the opportunities afforded by neighbouring jurisdictions and their well-paid workers travelling to NH, we would be far worse off. Sadly, rather than actually improving NH to be strong on its own as well as benefitting from the region, many Granite Staters are content with the easy route of relying on our neighbours to fuel the state.
