Rep. McElwee: I'm your constituent and I want MaineCare for 70,000 Mainers

Rep. McElwee, I'm your constituent and I want you to accept federal money to get 70,000 Mainers the health coverage they need. Vote yes to expand MaineCare.

Why is this important?

Rep. McElwee just switched her vote to “no” on accepting federal money to provide 70,000 Mainers with the health coverage they need. Her reasoning according to the Bangor Daily News? “I have talked all weekend long to people about this, explaining my feelings, but most of the people who called me were from Portland. They weren't from The County. Caribou is a Republican community, and my constituents do not want MaineCare.” I'm a constituent of Rep. McElwee's and to me it doesn't make any sense for Maine not to accept money to help 70,000 Mainers get the health coverage they need. Please sign this petition to tell Rep. McElwee to accept federal funding to expand MaineCare.
