Dec 4 Senate HPol - Insurance mandates for contraception & vaccines, and MI Crisis line include mental health/substance abuse

These Insurance mandates pick up from the September 26 hearing (notes here), were amended (except the last bill), and passed committee proceeding to the floor of the Senate.

It's worth noting that in 2013, an insider of Michigan's insurance industry publicly stated that each insurance mandate added 4% to the price of each premium. At that time, there were about 34 mandates. We're now approaching 40.

The real question: Does putting more dollars into the hands of corporate insurance benefit corporate, or individuals?
