- 61,000 Montana residents relied on enhanced premium tax credits in 2024†.
- A Montana couple in their early 60s earning about $82,800 per year would see their annual health insurance premium increase by an average of $20,009†. To keep their coverage, they could have no choice but to incur debt or forego medical care in order to reduce expenses.
- If enhanced premium tax credits expire, Montana is projected to lose 158 jobs. By 2026, the state’s GDP will decline by $19.4 million, with total economic output dropping by $30.1 million. These losses would lead to a $1.5 million reduction in state and local tax revenues.†
