LD1040 mandates that MaineCare provide reimbursement for treatment related to “gender dysphoria.” It also prohibits discrimination in reimbursement based on a MaineCare member’s “gender identity.”
The Maine State Senate passed LD1040 on June 20, 2023 by a vote of 23 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because taxpayers should not be on the hook to cover sex change surgery for its citizens.
