Abstract

"Health Care" piece on legislative initiatives for the elderly of Maine, such as more affordable prescription drugs. A measure to expand a Medicaid-style low-cost drug program that passed last session might be expanded further in the next session, if a bill introduced by Sen. Chellie Pingree, D-North Haven, is passed. Other bills would address nursing home care, reimbursement to the homes, and increased funding for home-based care programs. The Senior Legislative Advocacy Coalition will meet next month to vote on the seven to eight bills it will focus on in the coming year.
