LePage considers starting state health insurance plan to replace Obamacare
Source: Kennebec Journal
Maine Gov. Paul LePage said Tuesday he may pursue a state health insurance system as a replacement to the federal Affordable Care Act after Congress failed to repeal and replace the federal program that critics say is steadily collapsing.
We are just going to withdraw the state and just go do our own thing, LePage said. The federal government obviously is broken so they are not going to stand in the way, they cant get anything done.
LePage also took aim at his fellow Republicans and rebutted President Trumps suggestion that the ACA, known as Obamacare by critics, should be allowed to fail and collapse.
Speaking with Ric Tyler on the Bangor-based WVOM radio station, LePage said letting Obamacare fail made no sense.

As soon as you got a cold, he'd have a lobsterman row you out to sea and throw you over.
