This report looks at the economic impact of Medicaid expansion in Montana. It finds that Montana’s Medicaid expansion introduces $650 million into the economy each year, supporting 6,000 new jobs and $400 million in personal income.

Montana economist Bryce Ward of ABMJ Consulting conducted the report, and we are releasing it in partnership with Headwaters Foundation.
