UMaine Researcher Noted in Story on Welfare Study

A Bangor Daily News report on a study about childless adults on MaineCare included a mention of Sandra Butler, a UMaine social work professor who interviewed seven participants for the study, which found more than 40 percent of childless adults covered through MaineCare are older than 45 and many have serious medical conditions. The study was prepared by Maine Equal Justice Partners, an advocacy group for the poor. Butler’s contribution was also noted in a release on the InsuranceNewsnet magazine website.
