Dear friends and supporters,
These are uncertain times for the future of health care.  We need your support now more than ever.

We can expect attempts by the new administration and Congress to roll back portions of the Affordable Care Act and more privatization of Medicare through Medicare Advantage plans. We should not be surprised to see more services being discontinued and hospitals struggling to stay open.

Our vision is for a healthcare system where everyone contributes to a national or statewide system and gets the care they need. The details about how to do that can be mind-boggling, but the idea is very straightforward and affordable.

This year, with partial funding from Maine Health Access Foundation, we commissioned the Maine Center for Economic Policy to update the fiscal analysis they first did in 2019 to assess the feasibility of a universal system for the state. Just as we learned five years ago, a plan that covers all Maine residents with good benefits and very low out of pocket cost is indeed achievable for about the same amount we now collectively pay!

 

Read more about our 2024 accomplishments, and stay tuned for more information in the new year.

Will you make a contribution to Maine AllCare to help carry on our work? 

All our funding comes from supporters like you, and we appreciate every bit.  You may send a check to the address below, or hit the Donate button on our website.  And if you can, become a recurring donor— it’s a big help to us! We are deeply grateful to our recurring donors and to all who have contributed this year. 

While our mission may seem lofty, it really is not. We have prepared a detailed plan that describes how a universal system could operate, and we are keeping a close watch on state and national efforts to move the concept forward in 2025 and beyond.

With gratitude and hope,

Your Maine AllCare Team
