Sheehy called for the “pure privatization” of the U.S. health care system
Helena, MT – If multimillionaire Tim Sheehy gets his way, 49 rural hospitals in Montana would be forced to close their doors.
Sheehy called for the “pure privatization” of the U.S. health care system directly after criticizing federal subsidies for hospitals – a resource that is essential for rural Montana hospitals, which are not profitable due to the small size of their community, to keep their doors open. Sheehy said, “Our hospitals have been built around federal health care subsidies. In my opinion we need to return health care to pure privatization.”
Sheehy’s “pure privatization” plan would be a disaster, and it shows how out-of-touch he is with rural Montanans.
