Gretchen Whitmer Statement on Republican Bill Cutting Medicaid
LANSING — Today former Senate Democratic Leader and Ingham County Prosecutor Gretchen Whitmer released the following statement after Republicans in the legislature voted to cut Medicaid:
“Every Michigander deserves access to quality, affordable health care. That’s why I worked across the aisle to expand Medicaid to over 680,000 Michiganders through Healthy Michigan. This legislation will take health care away from tens of thousands of Michigan families, which will hurt our whole economy. By supporting this shameful legislation, Bill Schuette and Brian Calley have made it crystal clear that they’re not on the side of working families. As Governor, I’ll take on Trump and Republicans who threaten our health coverage, protect people with pre-existing conditions and work to make health care more affordable for all Michigan families.”
