*&!%^#^%$%@!( LePage! (And that goes for the Feds too) [View all]
The Federal gov't gave in and let him cut MaineCare back from 200% of poverty level to 133%.
I know a family that makes 134% of poverty level. Missed it by a couple hundred bucks. They will be dumped from MaineCare and now have to pay an annual premium of between $900 and $1200, plus up to $4000 a year in copayments. And no, the insurance won't cover their kid's braces.
I am so sure they will be able to afford it because hey, they were $200 bucks too rich for medicaid.
