A newly released study from the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce shows how passage of the Senate Health Bill through reconciliation would help each state.
In Montana, reform would:
* Improve coverage for 564,000 residents with health insurance.
* Give tax credits and other assistance to up to 261,000 families and 34,900 small businesses to help them afford coverage.
* Improve Medicare for 162,000 beneficiaries, including closing the donut hole.
* Extend coverage to 117,000 uninsured residents.
* Guarantee that 22,000 residents with pre-existing conditions can obtain coverage.
* Protect 900 families from bankruptcy due to unaffordable health care costs.
* Allow 76,000 young adults to obtain coverage on their parents' insurance plans.
* Provide millions of dollars in new funding for 84 community health centers.
* Reduce the cost of uncompensated care for hospitals and other health care providers by $54 million annually.
Our state, which is struggling with a poor economy and widespread job losses, needs the help reform will provide. Urge Rep. Denny Rehberg to do the right thing and support health care reform now. |
