Ten years ago, an industry insider publicly disclosed the cost of state mandates on health insurance.

At the time, Michigan had over 33 items mandated for coverage. Each item averaged an addition 4% charge to every policy sold in our state.

Here we go with a few more.

Oh, and another money-grab: certification.

By the way, "quality complex rehabilitation technology" is a wheelchair fitting. The certified fitting-makers want to outlaw the uncertified fitting-makers. 

It's the Dr. Suess story about "Stars upon thars" all over again!
