According to Thinkprogress,
Governor Schweitzer will seek a waiver from the Federal govt to establish single payer in Montana as well. The waivers cannot be granted until 2017, however there has been legislation introduced to bring that up to 2014.

Schweitzer said that under his ideal system patients can still buy private insurance if they want to, but that it’ll be a “lonely place over there at Blue Cross Blue Shield” due to the superior public health insurance he plans to provide.
