President Donald Trump has tapped a Maine official who battled Medicaid expansion for a position that puts her in charge of the national program, the federal agency confirmed Monday. Mary Mayhew’s role of deputy administrator and director of the U.S. Center for Medicaid and the CHIP Services will place her in charge of the federal health care program for low-income people. She served as commissioner of Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services for seven years, and during that time, pressed for welfare reform under LePage. (Patrick Whittle, Associated Press)
