Bill Summary
An Act Regarding Charges to Uninsured Patients for COVID-19 Vaccines
AI Summary
This bill modifies an existing Maine state law (22 MRSA §1718-G) related to COVID-19 patient charges, specifically removing language about prohibiting charges for COVID-19 vaccination for uninsured patients. By repealing subsection 3 of the original law and amending the section heading, the bill appears to eliminate previous protections that prevented uninsured patients from being charged for COVID-19 vaccines. The changes suggest that uninsured patients might now potentially be required to pay for COVID-19 vaccination, which would represent a significant shift from the earlier policy of providing free vaccinations to those without insurance during the pandemic. The bill is brief and focused on these specific technical amendments to the existing statute.
