Obamacare woes lead to Zinke vote

Did you know that all students at the University of Montana have to show a guaranteed health insurance policy in order to enroll and attend classes?

Students can be insured on their parents’ policy, their own policy or a policy that the university provides for $3,000 or $1,504 per semester, which is tacked on to the students’ tuition. THEN, adding insult to injury, the University is taxed $1 million a year for its contribution to Obamacare.

It’s a good thing John Lewis graduated from college in the early 2000’s so he didn’t have to deal with this as a student. He has done a disservice to college students and education by working with Max Baucus and participating in the creation of Obamacare. I think my vote goes to Ryan Zinke. —Dorothy Ashcraft, Bigfork
