The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010. I stand by my vote for health insurance reform because it was the right thing to do for Montana families, small businesses, family farms and ranches, seniors and veterans.

Doing nothing to fix health insurance and control costs was not an option. Health care costs have broken too many Montana families. This reform is tough on insurance companies. It will ensure that health care costs don't continue to bankrupt Montana families and businesses. And it will keep Medicare strong.

This website is part of my commitment to openness and transparency in government. I hope you find the resources and information here useful as you learn more about health insurance reform.
