Legislative Update
HB740 in Jeopardy
We need your help, and we need it today! HB740 is at risk for a veto from Governor Gianforte. His health care policy advisor, Rachel Green, is currently asking for a VETO from the Governor's office because there was opposition, and we "didn't work with the opponents." The PBMs are telling her they offered an amendment that we would not accept. We all know they will not negotiate.
We need everyone to call the Governor's office (406)444-3111 and let them know we need HB740. We need folks calling several times per day and having patients call as well. This needs to be front-and-center. Currently, Ms. Green has not agreed to meet with us despite several attempts, and we need help getting the message across.
We also need everyone to reach out to their legislator and ask them to call the Governor's office to help! Also, if anyone has a connection to their local news reporter, please reach out. We need to give this more exposure.
The bill was delivered to the Governor's office 4/28 and if he is going to VETO, he has to do it within 10 days.
Let me know if you have any questions. We are so close to this, and we can get this across the finish line!
