Ignoring the binding vote, Maine Gov. Paul LePage has refused to expand the Medicaid program, blasting it as a needless, budget-busting form of welfare. He vetoed five expansion bills before the issue made the ballot, plus a spending bill this month that provided about $60 million in funding for the first year. Earlier this month he went so far as to say he would go to jail “before I put the state in red ink” by adding at least 70,000 more low-income adults to the state’s Medicaid population of 264,000.

The next time the power goes out
we'll know it's the Russian bear's snout
that's digging our grave
while Trump tries to save
his bromance with Putin, no doubt.
