The Governor needs to preserve Mainecare for those who truly need it and address the problems with TANF and EBT fraud by hiring more auditors and prosecuting those who abuse the system. Use a scapel - not a hatchet!!
Why is this important?
Gov. LePage is seeking to axe 65,000 off of Mainecare. I am a clinical social worker who cares for mentally ill and substance dependant people. Many or most are on Mainecare, which they would likely lose if the cuts go through. If that happens, we will have even more crime as addicts have to "steal or deal" to feed their habits. And the mentally ill people would commit suicide or have other tragedies.
