As the Michigan Legislature readies for adjournment, the Committee to Protect Health Care, representing physicians statewide, expresses gratitude for the 2023 health care achievements.
Notable successes include safeguarding patient access through the Reproductive Health Act and fortifying Affordable Care Act protections. Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks prioritized a Prescription Drug Affordability Board, and physicians eagerly anticipate resuming efforts in 2024.
Dr. Rob Davidson, Executive Director of the Committee, commends Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and legislators for prioritizing quality, affordable health care. He states, “We are ready to continue the work to put the health, safety, and wellbeing of patients ahead of drug industry profits.”
The Prescription Drug Affordability Board remains a key focus as Michigan physicians strive to enhance healthcare accessibility.
