An Act to Improve the Health of Maine Residents by Amending the Laws Governing the MaineCare, Maine Rx Plus and Emergency MaineCare Programs

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill expands MaineCare and Maine Rx Plus eligibility for certain noncitizen residents of Maine. It would allow coverage for those with specific health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, cancer, or organ failure, who are otherwise ineligible due to their immigration status. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to form a group to improve the emergency MaineCare program and seek federal matching funds.
