Greg Gianforte would not have supported American Health Care Act, spokesman says

The American Health Care Act, approved by the U.S. House at the start of this month, would result in the loss of health insurance coverage for tens of thousands of Montanans, according to a report recently released by the Montana Budget and Policy Center.

People who live in rural areas are at the highest risk for loss of coverage and increased costs, and could see their premiums rise by more than $10,000 annually in some places, the report says. That’s because of two main provisions in the bill — cuts to the Medicaid program that provides insurance to the poor and a change from subsidies to tax credits that will increase costs for people who buy insurance on a marketplace.
