Legislature to vote on health care overhaulCommittee Republicans support the plan despite criticism that the implications are still unclear.AUGUSTA — Republican lawmakers are pushing ahead on an ambitious bill that would overhaul Maine's health insurance system and create a new one designed to foster more competition. In a party-line vote Friday, seven Republicans on the Legislature's Insurance and Financial Services Committee endorsed the legislation, despite Democrats' objections that the GOP was "ramrodding" the bill through the committee without giving lawmakers time to consider its implications. The Legislature may vote on the bill as early as Thursday, said Rep. Wesley Richardson, R-Warren, who sponsored the bill,LD 1333. The bill was amended extensively to transform it into the Republicans' major health-care reform package of the session. |
