Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey has joined a multi-state coalition that's suing the Trump administration over changes to insurance marketplaces under the Affordable Care Act.
The lawsuit argues that a new rule will create administrative barriers, increase costs, and result in nearly 2 million people across the U.S. losing coverage.
The attorneys general are asking for a stay to prevent the changes — which would also end coverage of gender-affirming care as an essential health benefit — from going into effect at the end of August.
Nearly 65,000 Mainers have coverage through the health insurance marketplace.
