Single Payer Health Care Reform Bill

Maine Single Payer Health Care Reform Bill Held Over for 2010.

The Insurance and Finance Committee voted to “hold over” Maine’s Single Payer legislation last week. The Committee wanted to first see what kind of reform the federal government was planning on enacting first. Many Committee members were very clear that they can wait another year, but that’s about all the time their constituents have to wait. The legislation will be taken up again next year.
