I am writing to support Senate Bill 405, The Montana HELP Act. This bill is a compromise bill sponsored by Republican Edward Buttrey which would provide for Medicaid expansion for our fellow Montanans. Medicaid expansion helps people who make a maximum, of $7.78 per hour, full time (or $16,200 per year). This bill accepts the available federal funds provided by Montana taxpayers for Medicaid expansion, rather than continuing to give our money to other states as we currently do.
