Welcome! This year in Michigan politics has been an interesting one for healthcare. As we see the rise of COVID cases going up recently, it is not without note that the Governor just gave an update of what she calls her Fall Priorities: Lower Health Care. We will provide an update on her Fall priorities next article but for this article, we will be analyzing the Nurse Staffing Ratio legislation. 
​

Welcome! This has been an interesting budget already and its not even finalized yet. In this article, we will discuss some of the differences between the Executive, House, and Senate budgets for the DHHS committee. The legislature and Governor will be working on combining these differences over the next month. This year timelines are slightly pushed back but there’s good reason for this. 

Welcome back to Hospital & Politics. Periodically, your Government Relations team will provide updates regarding Lansing and Washington D.C. hospital related news. In this issue our focus is on the health care supplemental that was signed into law by Governor Whitmer this March.

Welcome! It is all election over here in Lansing and that has made the policy movement rather slow recently. The legislature only met for a total of three days in September and there are little expectations for them to come back before the November election.
