Medicare for All
Health care should be a right, not a privilege. Michael Black Wolf believes every Montanan deserves access to affordable, dependable care without being forced to choose between their health and their finances.
Too many people across Montana delay care because of cost, go without treatment because they lack coverage, or travel long distances just to see a doctor. In rural communities, those problems are even worse. When hospitals and clinics are stretched thin, families pay the price.
Michael supports a Medicare for All approach because it offers a common-sense path toward making care more affordable and more reliable. If Medicare works for seniors and for elected officials in Washington, it should be strong enough to serve working families, parents, ranchers, tribal communities, and young people trying to build a future in Montana.
Health care reform should not just look good on paper. It should lower real costs, improve real access, and help keep rural hospitals and clinics open. Montanans deserve a system that works before a health issue turns into a crisis.
Michael’s priorities include:
- Ensuring Montanans can access care without long travel costs or losing coverage
- Keeping rural hospitals and clinics financially stable and accessible to local communities
- Lowering premiums and prescription drug costs
- Treating health care as a basic right for every American
