The following statement can be attributed to Brian Peters, CEO of the Michigan Health & Hospital Association.
While we are still reviewing the proposed executive budget, we are encouraged to hear that access to affordable healthcare is a top priority for Gov. Whitmer. We look forward to working alongside the governor and legislative leaders to ensure the 2027 budget mirrors the commitment they made in last year’s budget to fully fund Medicaid. Because of their actions, 1 in 4 Michiganders kept their health insurance through Medicaid, while many others maintained access to important healthcare services with state funding, such as the rural access pool and obstetrical stabilization fund.
