Bill > PPACA placeholder

This Unknown document is a placeholder created for the state of Maine to track its progress in establishing a health insurance exchange, as mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), also known as Obamacare. The PPACA requires all states to set up these exchanges, which are marketplaces where individuals and small businesses can purchase health insurance. Since Maine has not yet introduced specific legislation for its exchange, this "dummy bill" serves as an organizational tool to monitor the work of committees developing the state's implementation plan within the federal guidelines. Further information on Maine's progress can be found in the "Associated Documents" section.
