Governor Mills Gets Healthcare Hero Badge | Portland Maine News

Governor Janet Mills is being hailed as a healthcare hero by a Maine nonprofit after she took bold steps to expand Medicaid, covering over 100,000 more Mainers — reversing a prior governor’s rollback. At a recent conference, Mills called on the federal government to tackle the nation’s healthcare crisis head-on, not with bandaids but with real reform. Meanwhile, former Gov. Paul LePage, now running for Congress, finds himself in the spotlight again — this time as the one who stalled access for so many. The expansion stands as a major win under Mills’ leadership, proving tangible change is possible when politics aligns with people’s needs.
