Report Card season is in full swing here at Michigan Healthcare Freedom, and you'll be seeing me here a little less often as I catch up after a delay for surgery.
Sorting is finished: a full year of bills reduced from thousands to about 300. All actions with no Roll Call Vote, eliminated. This is about accountability, not participation points.
I'm about 1/4 of the way through reading and scoring the remaining list. A few will be deleted, not fitting within MHF health policy parameters.
Ultimately the score (Yes or No) answers a very basic question. Does the bill make healthcare more expensive, complicated, and bureaucratic, serving special interests? Or does it reverse that trend in to support individual rights of life, liberty, and property?
I began with Senate Bills, and you wouldn't believe the 19 appropriations bills they voted through. Every department budget impacts healthcare freedoms, and the spending increases would make a drunken sailor blush.
All this note-taking will publish in the online Report Card for your reading pleasure.
Timeline: the goal is to print this Report Card, package it, and launch it with distribution in the Dorr 4th Parade. This is a very tight timeline, and I appreciate your support with prayers and maintaining Forum activity.
You can pre-order or donate HERE.

Thank you for supporting legislative accountability and informed citizens in Michigan!

Down to the final 33 senate bills.
Have I mentioned how confusing limited licensing of psychiatry is? The docs REALLY like keeping lifetime supervision of masters-prepared practitioners. The fees just might have something to do with that.
