Maine’s Budget Must Not Make Cuts to Medicare Savings Programs

Protect Older Mainers from High Healthcare Costs

In 2023, Maine’s legislators took historic action by expanding eligibility for Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) for thousands of Mainers. MSPs are for people on Medicare who have limited income and resources so they may afford health care expenses such as copayments, deductibles, and Medicare Parts A and B.

Last year, Maine expanded eligibility for these programs so more Mainers could benefit and get the help they need.

Now, in her supplemental budget, the Governor has proposed rolling back this expansion.

We need your help to tell the legislature that Maine should oppose a budget that will cut MSPs and harm those who rely on them. Please, contact your elected officials today to tell them that Maine must not consider a budget that cuts critical support to those who need it most.
