Ryan Zinke Will Raise Health Care Costs for 38,000 People in MT-01 if He Has His Way

Two years ago, every single House Republican voted against the Inflation Reduction Act and the expansion of the ACA subsidies that kept health care costs down.

If Ryan Zinke had his way, they would let these subsidies expire and raise health care costs on roughly 38,000 people in MT-01.

Without the ACA subsidies, enrollees in MT-01 will pay roughly $1,000 more for health care, and approximately 3.4 million people would lose their health insurance nationwide.

Ryan Zinke and DC politicians have proposed numerous measures to raise health care costs, including raising the price of prescription drugs for 3.3 million people and privatizing Medicare.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"Ryan Zinke has not only failed to lower health care costs for Montanans, but threatens to raise costs even further. Voters can see that Zinke refuses to lift a finger to help them on pocketbook issues, and know he can never be trusted to deliver much-needed relief for Montanans."
