*232,645 of Maine’s Medicare beneficiaries were 65 or older in 2013—80% of beneficiaries.
*Medicare provided $2.3 billion in benefits to Maine residents in 2009—20.4% of all healthcare spending in the state.
Medicaid Works for Maine
*Medicaid insures 265,000 low-income seniors, children, pregnant women, adults, and people with disabilities in our state—one in every five Mainers.
