Michigan hospitals made clear in testimony this morning in the House Government Operations Committee that House Bills 6116–6119 would act as an accelerant toward the affordability crisis and harm healthcare access throughout the state. If enacted, these bills will increase costs and threaten access to care by forcing service cuts, workforce reductions and hospital closures, especially in rural communities.

Ben Frederick, associate vice president, advocacy, Ben Frederick, associate vice president, advocacy, government relations and business development, @memorialhealthcare, shared in a hearing last week how a new bill package could increase costs and threaten access to care by forcing service reductions, workforce reductions and hospital closures, particularly in rural communities. Hospitals across Michigan are already under significant financial strain, with nearly a quarter operating at a loss and several at risk of closing. If enacted, the bills would double the number of hospitals operating in the red, bringing the total to 54. Learn more at MHA.org.
