Would ‘Medicare for All’ increase federal spending by roughly $3 trillion annually? | Fact brief (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Medicare for All” would increase federal spending by roughly $3 trillion annually, according to some estimates. Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Troy Jackson says he supports the idea, which would replace most private health insurance with federally funded “single-payer” coverage, in which the government pays most medical bills. A 2019 Urban Institute study estimated that a comprehensive single-payer system would increase federal spending by $2.8 trillion annually, largely replacing expenditure
Can I add a wood stove to my home in Augusta? | Fact brief (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Augusta homeowners may add a wood stove, subject to state and local safety rules. Maine law generally bars municipalities from prohibiting safe, commercially available heating systems, including wood stoves.

Maine’s law against indecent conduct prohibits knowingly exposing one’s genitals in public under circumstances “likely to cause affront or alarm.” It does not restrict anyone from exposing their breasts. But local ordinances can be stricter. Rumford and Sebec, for example, define an exposed breast as nudity and prohibit it in public places. Violations carry fines of
Does Maine get at least 15% of its electricity from solar power? | Fact brief (opens the original)
Read excerpt
U.S. Energy Information Administration data shows solar energy accounted for nearly 18% of Maine’s electricity in 2025. Nearly half of that came from small-scale installations such as rooftop solar. EIA estimates Maine generated 1.6 million megawatt-hours from utility-scale solar — facilities of at least 1 megawatt — and 1.3 million MWh from small-scale systems, for a total of 2.9 million. Maine’s utility-scale sources generated more than 14.8 million MWh in 2025. Adding in small-scale solar bri
