Supreme Court: LePage must move forward with Medicaid expansion

The Hill - Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) must move forward with Medicaid expansion after the state’s highest court denied his request to delay implementation.

The ruling Thursday by the state Supreme Court dealt a blow to LePage, who has been blocking Medicaid expansion ever since voters approved it in November.

However, the court did not rule on the merits of the case; it dismissed LePage’s appeal of a lower court decision, sending the case back to Superior Court.
