Maine News
Governor Paul LePage stated that he will push for a reduction in Medicaid eligibility that will put Maine on par with most states throughout the nation. LePage believes the state runs the risk of an influx of residents from out-of-state, if Maine continues to offer these “richer” benefits, jeopardizing the state budget. Opponents state that this action would leave 30,000 residents without insurance coverage.

About State Reform
To secure sustainable health system reform and quality, affordable care across America, NCHC and its allies are working to educate the public, support coalition building and foster citizen engagement in policy advocacy at the national, state and community levels.
