Yesterday, several senior and Medicare advocates gave compelling testimony to the Michigan House Insurance Committee about the unfortunate impact that Michigan Senate Bills 61 and 62 will have on Medicare beneficiaries in Michigan without further amendments.
While it was clear that the members of the Committee had already made up their minds regarding the Committee vote before the hearing started, I was impressed with the level of attention that Committee members gave me while presenting. This is not a dog and pony show. Medicare beneficiaries will be really hurt if SB 61 and 62 are passed by the Michigan House without significant amendments.
