More than 140,000 Montana women now have guaranteed access to preventative “copay-free” health care services thanks to provisions—supported by Jon Tester—that go into effect today.
Cancer research and prevention efforts would suffer deep cuts under the controversial spending plan authored by Congressman Dennis Rehberg.
Rehberg’s plan would allow employers to deny women access to birth control through employer-provided health insurance plans for any reason.
Congressman Dennis Rehberg is doubling down on his efforts to deny screenings and other health care services to tens of thousands of Montana women.
Rehberg voted for the controversial HR 1, which would have eliminated federal funding for more than 20 clinics in Montana.
Tester’s efforts were blocked by the Senate allies of Congressman Dennis Rehberg, a longtime opponent of legislation promoting equal pay for equal work.
My mom, Helen Pearson Tester, was the real deal. She was the daughter of homesteaders who came to north-central Montana with very little.
That means for Foster Friess’ $2,500, Dennis Rehberg could buy 343,000 aspirins—enough for 91 percent of all women in Montana.
The Violence Against Women Act provides assistance to victims and gives Montanans more tools in the fight against domestic violence and sexual assault.
Rehberg’s belief that companies should be able to charge women more for health insurance dates back to his multiple attempts to repeal Montana’s non-gender insurance law as a state representative in the 1980s.
