The resolution from the Sidney Health Center Board of Trustees asking me to support continuation of the...

Greetings from Helena. The big bill this week on the floor was HB 2, the budget. There are 5 parts to HB 2, so it took most of one day for the hearing and debate on the floor. We resisted several amendments, mostly by Democrats who wanted to raise the budget more. The main part of the budget is $10.3 Billion, with several companion bills coming along behind. I voted against HB 2 because it is way too much money. This budget is an increase from last session. In Judiciary Committee we heard bills ranging from driver’s license suspensions to m...

I will never forget the day I learned the cost of my husband’s new medication: $9,000 per month, totaling $108,000 per year. Panic set in as we wondered how we would pay. We researched alternatives. There weren’t any, even though the drug has been on the market for over 20 years. To our great relief, our health insurance covered - and continues to cover - this expensive medication, which we could otherwise not afford. With this drug my husband stays out of the hospital, can go to work, pay taxes and remain a productive member of society. My...
