Maine Gov. Paul LePage sued for blocking Medicaid expansion

Published



Maine Republican Gov. Paul LePage is being sued for blocking the state’s expansion of Medicaid after voters approved a ballot measure to extend the program to low-income residents.

The provision, which was created under Obamacare, would expand the government-funded Medicaid program to anyone making less than roughly $16,800 a year. An estimated 70,000 people in the state are expected to sign up for the program.
