This amendment increases General Fund appropriations in fiscal year 2012-13 to offset reductions in MaineCare 
payments to hospitals. This General Fund cost is offset by a transfer from the Maine Budget Stabilization Fund to the 
General Fund resulting in no net General Fund impact for the 2012-2013 biennium.
