flag Maine’s health care access suffers from shortages, cost, and rural gaps, worsened by threatened funding cuts and potential Medicaid changes.

flag Maine faces ongoing challenges in health care access due to affordability, provider shortages, and rural disparities, despite progress from Medicaid expansion and state initiatives. flag Rural communities struggle with limited providers, long travel distances, and rising costs, while federal budget changes threaten women’s health services by cutting funding to organizations like Maine Family Planning, jeopardizing contraception, screenings, and maternity care. flag Medicaid work requirements may also disenroll low-income individuals, risking coverage for essential treatments. flag Experts urge Congress to restore funding, maintain ACA subsidies, and protect access to care.
