Expands MaineCare, Maine Rx Plus, and Emergency MaineCare coverage to noncitizen residents with qualifying low incomes and specific health conditions.

This bill expands coverage under Maine's Medicaid programs, MaineCare, Maine Rx Plus, and Emergency MaineCare, to noncitizen residents with qualifying low incomes who are ineligible for federal Medicaid due to their immigration status. It provides coverage for those with a diagnosis of cancer, organ failure, or type diabetes, and for those who would otherwise qualify for federal Medicaid but for their immigration status.
