Fight the skyrocketing cost of health care
The high cost of health care is crippling our working families, seniors living on fixed incomes, and Michigan businesses. House Democrats are fighting to lower the skyrocketing cost of health care and ensure that every resident has access to high-quality health care. Our plan includes creating programs to bulk-purchase prescription drugs and provide health care to more than 1 million uninsured Michigan workers. Lower health care costs will ease the burden on businesses, attract jobs to Michigan, and help families get the health care they need.
