WJR’s Capital Report Focuses on Healthcare

MHA CEO Brian Peters

Detroit’s WJR 760 AM interviewed MHA CEO Brian Peters Sept. 22 for a segment on healthcare as part of “The Capital Report,” a new show focused on exploring issues happening within state politics and Michigan’s legislative landscape.

Peters spoke with host Guy Gordon on a variety of topics, including the 340B drug pricing program, proposed government mandated nurse staffing ratio legislation and maternal and infant health.

“We have always been supportive of public policy at both the state and federal level that limits the individual’s exposure to the high cost of healthcare,” said Peters. “If there are policies that can help ensure access to care, whether that be inpatient or outpatient hospital care, or access to prescription drugs, we support that.”

The 12-minute interview begins at the 10-minute mark of the show.
