Issue Position: Lower Health Care Costs

Issue Position

We can't give up on repealing and replacing Obamacare. Montana families have been devastated with higher premiums and higher deductibles that have made health care completely unaffordable. President Trump has taken important steps to dismantle this disastrous law by removing the individual mandate and removing limits on health plan options. Matt will continue working to expand access and reduce health care costs because he believes we must provide more affordable options and better care to all Montanans while also protecting those with pre-existing conditions.

Matt's proud of the work he's accomplished at the state level to provide more affordable care and expand health care access. Matt was responsible for authorizing direct primary care agreements, a high-quality, affordable alternative to high-deductible, high-premium insurance. This action has allowed Direct Primary Care facilities to open doors in nearly every major city across Montana and provide access to routine health care at an affordable monthly rate. Matt also worked hard to protect Montanans with pre-existing conditions and ensure they have access to affordable health care.

In June 2019, Montana's three health insurance companies reduced rates for the first time ever for policies sold on the individual marketplace because of the health care reform efforts led by State Auditor Matt Rosendale.

There's still a long way to go and that's why Matt will continue to work to repeal Obamacare and deliver affordable health care reform that fits your personal needs and budget while always protecting those with pre-existing conditions. Matt believes it's beyond time we start lowering premiums -- and deductibles -- for all Montanans.
