Counting a family in 1930
This morning, I read an interesting article on the MPBN site about how important the Census is to Maine as it relates to healthcare dollars. Take a look. Because the dollars coming in to our health care system (via Medicare for people over 65, and MaineCare for income-eligible folks and families) are based on actual population, it’s very important that every Mainer is counted.
You’ll get Census information in the mail next week. PLEASE FILL IT OUT AND MAIL IT BACK! If you don’t, you’ll get a visit from a Census worker, so you’ll have another chance to be counted. Let’s make sure we count every single person living in Maine.
