Governor Steve Bullock today presented an updated report affirming that Medicaid expansion has been beneficial to businesses, workers, and the Montana economy, and supports efforts to maintain a healthy and safe workforce.

“In Montana, three out of five businesses rely on Medicaid expansion to provide healthcare for some portion of their employees. In all 56 counties in Montana, in every industry, and of every size, Medicaid expansion is benefitting businesses,” Governor Bullock said. “There’s no doubt that the value of Medicaid expansion is as much for our Montana businesses as it is for the Montanans receiving access to health care. When we create a healthy, productive, and reliable workforce, Montana’s workers can stay on the job and keep our economy running and growing.”
