There is a huge opportunity starting today 2 send a message against ACA repeal.

And get coverage to 70,000 people.

Maine's legislature voted 5 times to expand Medicaid. LePage vetoed it 5 times.

But in 2 weeks, #MEMedicaid is in the ballot. 2/

Why should people care whether Maine becomes the 32nd state to expand Medicaid? 3/

Most importantly, Mainers care:
-70,000-80,000 will get covered
-6,000 badly needed jobs
-Badly needed opioid treatments 4/

In the face of more access, jobs & treatment, LePage is leading a well financed, misleading effort against it.5/

There's another reason to support #MEMedicaid than to help Mainers & combat what LePage is doing.

And that's the national implication...6/

Three more states-- which like Maine would benefit massively-- are pushing 2018 ballot initiatives. The momentum is important. 7/

An overwhelming victory for an expansion initiative on a state ballot would send a huge message to national politicians intent in repeal.8/

So we need to combat the lies.👇
