Democrats in the Montana Legislature are accusing the GOP of taking advantage of the government run health insurance plan while at the same time supporting the repeal of federal health care.

On Wednesday, House Republicans passed a spending measure which contains funding for this legislative session.

The "Feed Bill" provides about $8.2 million for this session and another $500,000 for next session. The funding covers administrative costs as well as salaries and benefits for legislators.
