Montana has a unique opportunity to improve healthcare for American Indians by expanding Medicaid. If Montana policymakers choose to take advantage of this opportunity, American Indians who are newly eligible for Medicaid, including those who rely on Indian Health Service (IHS) facilities, will see improvements in their healthcare. Up to 19,547 American Indians would be newly enrolled in the program, improving access to care and health outcomes throughout Indian Country.
