Like many Americans, I spent this weekend working on my state and federal taxes. However, I was very pleased to see this statement on the Maryland income tax form:
Check here if you authorize us to share your tax information with the Medical Assistance Program for help finding health insurance.

The same statement also appears on the "short form" which is available to some filers.

This statement appears in the sections of the forms about exemptions, a place where it is likely be seen by all those filing income tax returns in Maryland.
After reading on this website about the things that Republicans are doing to make sure that Medicaid is available to as few people as possible, I am glad to see that I live in a State that actually wants to help people sign up for Medicaid.
