“Terminate It”: What Trump’s Obamacare Repeal Will Cost Montana

Latest News

Does Greg Gianforte Support the President’s Efforts to Rip Away Health Care from 112,000 Montanans? 

Yesterday, President Trump doubled down on his administration’s ultimate goal to “terminate” the ACA even as the country faces its worst public health crisis in history. The deadly effects that a repeal of the Affordable Care Act would cause are unquestionable. 
In Montana alone:

  • 112,000 people would lose health care coverage, raising the state’s uninsured rate among its nonelderly population from 7.5 percent to 20.9 percent.
  • 429,900 people with preexisting conditions could face higher premiums, face benefit exclusions, or be denied coverage altogether.
  • $1.1 billion in federal funding for health coverage would be lost.
