Hallowell, MAINE – Governor-elect Janet Mills issued the following statement today in response to last night’s ruling by a federal judge in Texas regarding the Affordable Care Act:
This is a backward, poorly-reasoned decision, but it does not change the fact that the Affordable Care Act is still the law of the land. I pledge to the people of Maine that, as their governor, I will fight not only to preserve and protect their health care, but also to work with the Legislature to strengthen it.
