What does health care reform mean for
Farmers and Ranchers?
 

What's in it for Montana's farmers and ranchers?

  • Self-employed Montanans will have access to exchange markets, where they can find affordable insurance.

Do farmers and ranchers have to buy insurance for temporary or part-timers who work for them?

  • No. Unless a business employs 50 or more full-time employees, there is no requirement to offer coverage.

What's in it for rural America?

  • Thanks to an amendment by Sen. Jon Tester, 20 percent of funding for health training and education goes to rural and frontier communities.
  • Investments in the primary care workforce mean more doctors and nurses in Critical Access Hospitals, Community Health Centers, and across rural America.
