Court orders Maine governor to expand Medicaid

[Swordsmyth]

Gov. Paul LePage's administration must file paperwork by next week to the federal government to adopt Obamacare's Medicaid expansion in Maine, a state Superior Court judge said Monday in a decision rebuking the defiant Republican governor.

Obamacare supporters in April sued the LePage administration to force it to comply with the results of a November ballot initiative ordering the state to expand coverage to tens of thousands of low-income adults under the 2010 health care law.

But LePage has insisted he won't adopt Medicaid expansion unless state lawmakers meet his conditions for funding the program.

Republican Gov. Paul LePage's administration appealed a judge's order Thursday that requires Maine (https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/maine) to move to expand Medicaid as voters demanded in 2016. Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Ricker Hamilton appealed the ruling and asked the state's highest court to expedite its decision on what LePage's office calls an "important constitutional question."
