Well, we know you can’t have a healthy economy without healthy people. Every one of us during our lifetime will need health care, some more than others, at different times in their lives. That’s what happened to Bethany Zell of Caribou. She was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer and Medicaid, or MaineCare in Maine, was the only health insurance she had access to. She was self-employed and it was way too expensive to add her to her husband's health insurance. And luckily, her cancer treatment has been fully covered through MaineCare since her diagnosis in 2023.

But that might not be the case anymore if the federal government moves forward with various proposed changes to the Medicaid program nationally.
