Maine’s Governor Pushes for Medicaid Changes
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.
