House lawmakers seek to curb drug costs, increase health care access

House lawmakers announced a package of more than a dozen bills Wednesday to curtail health care costs in Michigan, including proposals to cap insulin co-payments and oral chemotherapy. House Speaker Jason Wentworth, R-Farwell, announced the more than 15-bill package Wednesday as an effort to solve a crippling problem that has gained emphasis during the pandemic as people struggle with job loss, illness and COVID deaths. In every case, the existing problems with our rigged health care system are magnified, Wentworth said. But as far too many people know in our state, those problems have always been there. It is well past time to fix this problem.

Nonprofit used in Michigan s COVID fight draws oversight abuse fears

Nonprofit used in Michigan s COVID fight draws oversight abuse fears Lansing The budget of a nonprofit group that one official says has been used by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to avoid oversight has ballooned during the COVID-19 pandemic, spurring concerns about the accountability of millions of dollars in government spending. Through a master agreement, the Okemos-based Michigan Public Health Institute has quietly been able to execute contracts on behalf of the state health department. The group is so closely tied to the department that former state health director Robert Gordon once said hundreds of employees contracted through the nonprofit assist the state with work.
