Michigan healthcare freedom community forum
Count 'em - 24 bills.
Now, convince me all these bills are going to get the thoughtful, serious consideration that should characterize all state senators, and that our troubled patients, clinicians, businesses, and taxpayers deserve.
These new provisions aren't going to conflict with existing state or federal law, regulation, court decisions, or basic economic principles, right?
Much less violate the Michigan Constitution, the US Constitution, or equal rule of law and the Bill of Rights?
Since that's what all legislators are all sworn to uphold ....
I'll wait.
