Restaurant owner Shalon Hastings had been without health insurance for a year when she heard about Insure Montana, a state program that subsidizes health insurance for owners and employees of small businesses.

“When this came along, I was ecstatic, because it was a scary thing to be without insurance,” says Hastings, who owns Taco del Sol, a taco and burrito shop in downtown Helena. “(My old insurance) was way too expensive, and they weren’t covering anything, not even preventive for dental.”
