Maine Spending Less to Promote Obamacare

Maine is spending less to spread the word about the start of Obamacare’s open enrollment session compared to other states.  According to the Associated Press, Maine’s community groups and health centers have budgeted $2 million or $1.50 per person to promote the new marketplace to buy health insurance.  The new marketplace or healthcare exchange is scheduled to open this October.  Maine’s insurance exchange will be operated by the federal government.  By comparison, Vermont which is operating its own state-based exchange, is spending approximately $2.7 million on marketing initiatives or $7 per person.
