Your March 10 editorial “Governor blocks Medicaid expansion: A wrong turn in Maine” highlights the principled action by Maine’s governor, Paul LePage, in resisting the lure of Medicaid expansion in the state. While your editorial sneered at this position, I applaud it.
Medicaid, also known as MaineCare, is a broken system, expensive and unsustainable.

So much the better that people not get health care? If you're going to describe the program as broken, expensive and unsustainable you should back it up with evidence, reason. The majority of readers here don't know much about Maine's healthcare system. Enlighten us.
We must assume that you don't live in Maine, like paying high premiums for health insurance, are young and healthy, and never get sick, injured or unemployed.
More Deaths than Births as well. Also a steadily increaing population loss. "Everybody's leaving town". Maine will wind up being a parody of itself.
