Maine Gov Vetoes Hospital Payment Bill Over Medicaid Expansion

Gov. Paul LePage today signed a message to veto a bill to pay back Maine hospitals and expand Medicaid. It was a swift move that came less than an hour after the Senate enacted the bill along party lines. At issue is whether Medicaid expansion is good for Maine. Democrats are holding out for an override. But as Patty Wight reports, Gov. LePage has already submitted a new bill that would only pay back the debt owed to hospitals.
