Zinke Introduces Resolution Condemning Biden’s Carbon Tax Plan

January 25, 2024

Today, Congressman Ryan Zinke introduced a resolution expressing Congressional disapproval of President Biden’s planned carbon tax. The Resolution cites the negative impacts that would come with implementing a carbon tax. If enacted, a carbon tax would exacerbate the increasing energy costs consumers pay to power their vehicles, homes and businesses. There would also be downstream impacts to manufacturing, transportation and construction industries, as well as increases in the costs of food and goods. Additionally, it would further cement China’s role in manufacturing “green” technologies to meet Biden’s climate agenda.

Zinke, Colleagues Work to Protect Medicare

December 15, 2023

Press Release

Today, Congressman Zinke sent a letter along with several other lawmakers to House and Senate leadership urging Congressional action to prevent the impending 3.37% cut in Medicare reimbursement to physicians. This potential 3.37% reduction comes after three years of consecutive cuts to Medicare services. If Congress does not act this year, Medicare payments will have been cut by almost 10% in four years, which is simply unsustainable for our nation's medical groups, physicians, and other health care providers. If these Medicare cuts are not prevented, medical groups and integrated systems of care especially in Montana will be forced to eliminate services, furlough staff, implement hiring freezes, and delay population health initiatives.
