*&!%^#^%$%@!( LePage! (And that goes for the Feds too)

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.

the first democrat would have won easily but he was sabotaged and his replacement didn't have the name recognition or the experience he had!if this was done by outside help it would be hard to prove but not unbelieveable!
the next election we want a strong candidate le page woh't draw 40 % this time! to many have seen his demeanor! with the best hype I'd say 15%!
