Consumer Alert: Your Immediate Advocacy is Needed 

Take action now: http://www.capwiz.com/consumersforhealthcare/issues/alert/?alertid=62506451&type=ST

The time to strengthen Medicaid is now. Michigan could miss out on the opportunity to accept federal funds to bring health insurance access to up to 500,000 Michigan citizens. Strengthening Medicaid would not cost Michigan a dime; it would in fact, save the state over $1 billion dollars over the next 10 years. Medicaid needs to be strengthened now.

E-mail your lawmakers TODAY and let them know you support Medicaid expansion and the state of Michigan needs to expand Medicaid.

To take further action please call: 

House Speaker Jase Bolger: 517-373-1787 
House Appropriations Committee Chair Joe Haveman: 517-373-0830

Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville: 517-373-3543
Senate Appropriations Chair Roger Kahn: 517-373-1760
