When Matt Rosendale was running to be Montana’s State Auditor, he promised to expand access to high quality, affordable healthcare, and to always protect Montanans with pre-existing conditions. Four years later, he has done all that—and more.
Rosendale has implemented a framework that allows for those with pre-existing conditions to be covered, while simultaneously reducing the cost of insurance for everyone across the board. After years of double-digit rate hikes under the previous State Auditor, Rosendale was able to decrease the cost of health insurance on the individual market by 15%.
Rosendale worked across party lines to pass a bill to reduce the cost of prescription drugs for Montanans by $7.5 – $8 million per year. He authorized Direct Primary Care and other healthcare options to expand access and choice for Montanans.
Rosendale’s opponent Extreme Kathleen Williams supports Bernie Sanders’s plan for a complete government takeover of our healthcare system which would lead to soaring costs, long wait times, and low-quality, rationed care.
The choice couldn’t be clearer, Rosendale has decreased healthcare costs and increased access to care for Montanans, and he will do the same thing in Congress. I urge every Montanan to join me in voting for Matt Rosendale.
