Maine is one of 19 remaining states that have refused to expand Medicaid under the ACA after the Republican Gov. Maine has already missed out on generous federal funding of the Medicaid expansion. From 2014 through 2016, the ACA’s Medicaid expansion population was funded 100% with federal dollars. Already, about 11 million Americans have gained coverage from Medicaid expansion in 31 states and the District of Columbia under the ACA. If Maine and the remaining 18 states that haven’t expanded Medicaid do so, another 2.5 million Americans would gain health coverage.
