Kudos to Will Neilson for his lucid, factual rebuttal — “Pierce Wrong on MaineCare Expansion” — of the talking points submitted by Representative Jeff Pierce opposing a MaineCare expansion that you published on Monday. His careful and painstaking refutation of the inaccuracies and spurious arguments spouted by the opposition to a much-needed, win-win program for the people of Maine was excellent.
