Maine: deficit creates opening for reform
1993 • Soaring nursing home
costs• Loose eligibility criteria• Waiting lists for home
care• Few residential
alternatives to institutional care.
1994 • Legislature tightens
nursing home admission criteria
• Diverts savings to home care and the deficit
• Amends criteria for CON requiring cost neutrality for new projects.

What’s working
