Helena, MT – Multimillionaire Tim Sheehy has faced an onslaught of nonstop criticism since he was caught on tape calling for the “pure privatization” of the U.S. health care system.

Here’s what Montanans are learning about Sheehy’s plan to raise costs and dismantle Medicare for Montana’s seniors, shutter rural hospitals, repeal the Affordable Care Act, end protections for those with pre-existing conditions, and empower big insurance companies to set the rules. 
 

WHAT MONTANANS ARE WATCHING AND READING

ABC FOX Montana

Heartland Signal: “If Sheehy is elected to the Senate, he would likely support a potential effort to repeal the landmark [Affordable Care Act].”

Raw Story: “A… Republican candidate for the United States Senate in Montanafloated eliminating all health insurance and bringing back the old-timey payment system where cash-strapped patients could barter with their doctors for medical care.”

Daily Kos: Just When They Thought They Were Out, He Pulled Them Back In: GOP's War On The ACA Is On Again.

Tiffany Mueller, President of End Citizen United: “Corporations, especially Big Pharma, already have too much power in Washington. We can't afford another corporate stooge like Tim Sheehy.”

Joseph Zeballos-Roig, Semafor: “Montana US Senate GOP candidate Tim Sheehy’s ideal image of privatized American healthcare sounds like something out of Downton Abbey”
