#MTpol: @MTHumanRights is asking for a #MTleg Special Session on Medicaid?????
There is no theory of change for Medicaid being expanded in a Special Session. None.
The only valid theory of change for expanding Medicaid in Montana is via a ballot campaign.
Pushing for a Special Session distracts from the only valid method, it harms it. Having a Special Session would be the worst thing for expanding Medicaid, it's most probable outcome would be the Arkansas model, either passing the session or getting traction as a competing citizen's initiative.
For the life of me I can't understand why MHRN is pushing something with zero upside but extensive downside.
Strategery like this is why Montana can't have nice things.
