Raise Your Voice
for Healthy Montana Kids!
Yesterday, funding for Healthy MT Kids was voted down in committee on a party-line vote, but we know that this is not a partisan issue!
Health care for kids is a priority for Montana families!
Funding was included in the Governor's Executive Budget,
but was voted down yesterday in a 4-4, straight party line vote in the Joint Subcommittee on Appropriations for Health and Human Services.
The Healthy Montana Kids Plan passed last November with overwhelming support from Montana voters. It passed in every legislative district, in every county, and it carried 70% of the total vote.
It is time to raise our voices again!
Please contact targeted members of the Committee:
Chair: Rep. Teresa Henry, D-Missoula - voted for
Vice chair: Sen. Dave Lewis, R-Helena - voted against
and contact your Representative and your Senator!
The message is simple:
Voters spoke out; health care for kids in a priority in Montana!
The Legislature needs to fund Healthy Montana Kids!
