Medicaid expansion debate looms largest among the health care topics of the 2025 Montana Legislature .
Legislators from both parties predict a vigorous debate over keeping the Medicaid expansion program.
The program pays the medical bills of more than 75,000 low-income Montanans at an annual cost of about $1 billion to the federal and state governments.
The state pays 10% of the program’s costs, which totaled about $962.4 million in fiscal year 2024 .
The federal government picked up $870 million of that tab.
Democrats say Medicaid expansion has succeeded on many fronts: covering thousands of low-income workers, helping keep rural health care providers and hospitals afloat.
