Earlier this year, when Congress was trying to repeal Obamacare, we went all-in on protecting the law and saving health care for millions. Now we're going all-in to expand health care.
In Maine, the state legislature has passed bills to expand Medicaid under Obamacare five times. Each time, these bills were met with a veto from Maine's troglodyte Republican governor, Paul LePage—a man whose over-the-top antics and racist attacks have made him a favorite of Donald Trump.
Democrats don't have the numbers in the legislature to override LePage's veto, but there is another way to pass Medicaid expansion into law: a ballot initiative.
Daily Kos is endorsing Mainers for Health Care, the campaign supporting Question 2 on the ballot this fall in Maine. It would expand Medicaid to 70,000 Mainers and put an exclamation point on the end of a year that has bitterly disappointed Republicans for their failure to repeal Obamacare.
Maine is a light blue state and expanding Medicaid is popular. But we can't take any chances when people's health coverage is on the line.
Can you chip in $3 to Mainers for Health Care to help pass Medicaid expansion and bring health coverage to tens of thousands of Mainers?
