The Department of
Health and Human Services will require General Fund appropriations of
$658,731 in fiscal year 2025-26 and $664,918 in fiscal year 2026-27 related
to the repeal of Public Law 2019, chapter 274, which provided coverage to
MaineCare members for legal abortion services. This estimate assumes that
MaineCare costs for 1,228 abortions annually will be eliminated while
MaineCare costs for delivery and births will be incurred for an additional
195 mothers and children annually. Federal Expenditures Fund allocations will
also be required for the FMAP match. |
