My 34yo niece suddenly went blind last year. SSDI, Medicaid & SNAP are vital while she figures out what she's going to do.
I'm sorry you have to go thru this. Our only voice is to contact our Representatives & use your vote in 2026.

In 2021.. MaineCare covered 19.7%
as of January 2025 MaineCare covered nearly 400,00 or 30% of the state population.. (per Portland Press Herald 1/31/25)
.. and 50% of all the children.
A FAFO find out moment for them.
Already suffering, this will only add to the cruelty.
Republicans, where #CrueltyIsThePoint , apparently. #utpol
Here's the thing: The vast maj of Medicaid recipients are either employed, taking care of loved ones, or attending school. (92% of recipients under 65.)

And this: The average income of SNAP recipients is only $852.00 per month (AP)! π«€
The GOP's scapegoating the very poorest among us!

The GOP, as usual, is pushing DEEPLY unpopular legislation. And everyday πΊπΈ's will undoubtedly suffer the most!
Not "cost-cutting." Just cruelty!

Let's be clear: they're not "cutting" a budget. They're trying to eliminate the program entirely.
