Sheehy’s position would eliminate the ACA, Medicare, and rural hospitals

Helena, MT – Following new reporting from Semafor that unveiled audio of multimillionaire Tim Sheehy calling for the “pure privatization” of the health care system, the executive director of the Montana Democratic Party Sheila Hogan released the following statement:

“Tim Sheehy’s brazen attack on the Affordable Care Act and Medicare is despicable. His call for ‘pure privatization’ would eliminate Medicare, raise costs for hundreds of thousands of Montanans, and devastate our rural hospitals. It’s clear that this out-of-state multimillionaire does not know the first thing about Montanans’ health care.”
