Michigan Senate panel considers bills guaranteeing consumer protections in the ACA
Legislators in Michigan are looking to codify key elements of the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) into state law.
Most of the bills that are a part of this package cleared the state House, with their sponsors speaking in the Senate Health Policy Committee Wednesday to seek Senate approval.
The bills do not go above what is already federally mandated and would ensure Michigan’s state law is not weaker than the ACA, said one of the sponsors, state Rep. Matt Koleszar (D-Plymouth).
“We should not lose the opportunity to protect Michiganders’ access to high-quality, affordable health care,” Koleszar said.
