Abstract

"Focus: Health Care" piece on the Dirigo Health Agency, with a focus on the continuing debate over the plan's enrollment figures and long-term financing. Critics say that because the first-year target of 31,000 people haven't purchased policies, DirigoChoice isn't working. Supporters like Karynlee Harrington and Sharon Roberts say the level of enrollment, which totaled 8,100 as of September 1, is promising. With comments by Mike Deschaine, a manager for Cross employee Benefits; John Condon of Acadia Benefits; and Sherree Craig of the Allen/Van Alstine Agency in Camden. With a related article on the Dirigo Working Group, a panel whose members represent both employers and the Dirigo Health Agency.
