Governing: Maine's high court ruled on Thursday that Gov. Paul LePage's administration must follow an earlier court order to submit a Medicaid expansion plan to the federal government, even as the justices sent significant constitutional questions about implementation back to a lower court.
The 6-1 ruling from the Maine Supreme Judicial Court is procedural, but it is nonetheless a boon to advocates' court fight to expand Medicaid eligibility to an estimated 70,000 Mainers. Still, the issue will assuredly continue to wend its way through the state's legal system for weeks.
