Senator Eric Moore (R-Miles City; his district also covers about 1/3 of Powder River County) who has represented southeastern Montana in the Montana Senate since 2011, was recently appointed to serve as vice chair for the National Conference of State Legislatures' Health and Human Services Committee.
NCSL is a national, bi partisan organization that provides research and policy analysis for state legislators throughout the nation. The Health and Human Services Committee sets NCSL policy on issues such as medicaid, medicare, child welfare, and a host of other federal programs administered by the states.
"The cost of health care is one of the most important issues effecting people in southeastern Montana." said Moore. "By accepting this leadership position, I hope to be able to have some say on national policy, as well as see what other states are doing to deliver quality health care and keep costs under control."
Moore is termed out of the Montana Senate and is running unopposed for the House.
