    May 14 – Testify to Support Universal Healthcare: the All Maine Health Act

    On Wednesday, May 14, consider testing in support of LD 1883.

    Location: Burton M. Cross Office Building Room 220, 111 Sewall St, Augusta, ME 04330
    Time: 1-2:30pm, Wednesday 5/14/25

    From Maine AllCare: “(LD 1883) will establish a publicly funded universal healthcare plan for Maine. You can testify in person, via Zoom, or submit testimony online. Any testimony highlighting the many problems with our current system will be welcome. We’re especially looking for personal stories that illustrate why we need publicly funded, universal health care. These could be stories about unavailable or inaccessible care, exorbitant costs (of care or insurance), medical debt or bankruptcy, treatment delays, or denials.
