The Sen. Jon Tester campaign ran a full-page ad in our local newspaper on Sept. 4. The ad brazenly said that “Sheehy’s plan closes” our local hospital and that “49 rural Montana hospitals” will close if Tim Sheehy gets elected.
The lies about the “privatization” of VA medical benefits need to be exposed. Veterans are understandingly concerned about this issue. Sheehy and his wife are combat veterans themselves, and they would never propose or support efforts to reduce veterans’ medical benefits.
Sheehy is opposed to nationalizing our health care, which I agree with. It is obvious that keeping private, employer, Medicare, and Medicaid health insurance coverage is a good thing. Veterans should be able to get the care they need, regardless of the location. President Donald Trump fought the VA bureaucracy and won the right to allow veterans to access the private sector when the VA could not provide timely and accessible treatments.

Even news sources aligned with the Democratic Party have stated: “Militarily, one must admire Tim Sheehy — Naval Academy and Army Ranger School graduate, awarded the Bronze Star for valor and recipient of the Purple Heart as the result of a combat wound with service in Iraq and Afghanistan.” He retired from the Navy and moved to Montana in 2014. “It’s clear he served honorably and bravely,” the liberal journalist wrote.

Jon Tester has been in the Senate since 2007. The public should ask themselves: What kind of a person running for reelection, after serving 17 years in office, is trying to convince you to vote for him by telling blatant lies and “half-truths” about his political opponent?

Someone getting elected a Senator results in a hospital closing... I can just see it - the morning after the election Sheehy wins. “Sorry, folks, we are having to close our doors because Sheehy was elected.”
Some people will probably actually believe this.
