At a news conference on Tuesday, LePage said MaineCare, Maine’s version of Medicaid... paid out $385,000 for mutilation-related cases in 2016 and $338,000 in 2017. He said that included treatment for children injured “in Maine” as well as treatment for complications of people injured elsewhere.

Maine has a big problem with FGM because of the somali invasion.
So of course the Democrats voted against this claiming it's redundant and islamaphobic, but it's not. It's funny how the Dems are all for women's rights except when it comes to islam.
