44,000 to lose Medicaid coverage in Maine

The Boston Globe reports:

While seven Republican governors who once vocally opposed Obamacare have decided to go along with Medicaid expansion, Maine has chosen to not only eschew expansion, but is drastically cutting back the number of low-income residents who receive government-subsidized health care. Maine, whose governor is Republican Paul LePage, is the only state in New England choosing not to expand Medicaid coverage, which the Supreme Court has ruled is optional.
