Sen. Jason Small

We thank Rep.Ed Buttrey and Rep. Mary Caferro for sponsoring bills to continue Medicaid expansion in Montana. Thanks to their efforts, Montana will not lose a policy that supports 9,700 jobs, saves small businesses millions in health care costs and creates a healthier workforce. A special thank you to Senator Jason Small (R-Busby) for stewarding HB 658 through the Montana Senate. Thanks to their hard work, thousands of Montanans will not lose access to preventive, life-saving health care and our state will not lose a $2 billion economic engine.
