缅因州共和党人将该州的医疗补助计划改名, 将"缅因医疗"改为"缅因健康". Maine Republicans have renamed the state's Medicaid program, changing "MaineCare" to "MaineHealth." 批评者认为改名旨在让计划脱离“照顾”的概念, 意味着计划的重点有所改变, 并破坏了计划为低收入居民提供医疗的目的。 Critics argue the name change aims to distance the program from the concept of "care," implying a shift in the program's focus and undermining its purpose of providing healthcare to low-income residents. 这一举动引发了关于对该方案服务和公众看法的潜在影响的辩论。 The move has sparked debate over potential impacts on the program's services and public perception.
