| Democrat Monica Tranel |
The Issue | Republican Ryan Zinke |
|---|---|---|
| Monica Tranel supports future measures that would allow Medicare to continue keeping medical costs low through further negotiation on drug prices. | Seniors: About 16 percent of our community are seniors. The Inflation Reduction Act provided crucial relief to seniors by allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug companies over the price of medicine – keeping lifesaving medicine affordable. | Ryan Zinke put seniors at risk by trying to block the Inflation Reduction Act which gave Medicare the ability to negotiate lower drug prices. |
| Monica Tranel supports the funding of rental assistance and first-time homebuyer programs for struggling families. | Making Housing Affordable: About 17 percent of people in this community can barely afford the cost of housing. The Republican’s “Limit, Save, Grow Act” would have resulted in an estimated 2 million people being blocked from getting the federal rental assistance they need to obtain or maintain stable housing. | Ryan Zinke voted for the Limit, Save, Grow Act, that would have cut off millions of Americans from vitally needed help with rent. |
| Monica Tranel can be counted on to protect and support expansion of the Affordable Care Act and other reforms that make healthcare more affordable. | Making Health Care Affordable: There are still too many people without health insurance in our community. In fact, 9 percent of people here are uninsured, more than most other communities. The American Rescue plan expanded the Affordable Care Act (Also called the ACA or Obamacare) that provides access to affordable insurance and protects Americans with pre-existing conditions. | Ryan Zinke voted against expanding the Affordable Care Act. |
