The following statement can be attributed to Brian Peters, CEO of the Michigan Health & Hospital Association following Gov. Whitmer’s What’s Next address.
On behalf of Michigan hospitals and health systems, the MHA is very pleased to see Gov. Whitmer prioritize healthcare and improving access to care for Michiganders. Prescription drug costs continue to grow at alarming rates. Addressing prescription drug affordability will help improve access to important medication for residents throughout Michigan, leading to improved health outcomes.
Our association looks forward to working with the administration and lawmakers to support efforts to reduce costs for lifesaving drugs, remove barriers to prescription drug access and protect existing solutions such as the 340B drug pricing program to increase affordable prescription drug access for Michigan residents.
