“Healthcare access in one of the toughest issues facing Montana,” said Rehberg.  “The leaders of Montana’s hospitals are a crucial partner in ensuring we can correctly address the problem.  I was glad for the opportunity to meet with them.”

Rehberg is a member of the House Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittee which is in charge of directing healthcare funding to the Department of Health and Human Services, including funding for Montana’s hospitals.  During the meeting, Rehberg and members of MHA discussed preventing Medicare cuts in the President’s budget, addressing workforce shortage issues, among other things.
