MaineCare Isn’t Just for the Poor
Many people are surprised to learn that MaineCare (Medicaid) isn’t only for those who are poor or impoverished. In fact, most people who need Medicaid planning are middle-class or upper-middle-class families. These are people who worked hard, saved for retirement, and then discover the staggering cost of long-term care. Proper planning helps protect those savings while ensuring access to quality care.
