Medical providers just went through COVID-19 and have had to increase pay to their employees, while looming changes to MI auto no-fault threaten to cut reimbursement for their services in half starting July 2021

- John Cornack, President of @Eisenhower_EC on the @MitchAlbom show

More from Rep. Sherry Gay Dagnogo:

"As the only Detroiter serving on Insurance [Committee].. I'm very disappointed, first and foremost, that we are in this very vulnerable position."

"I'm very disappointed that the governor signed it."

- @DetroitEducator

"Providers are going to be put out of business, but more than that you have the people that they care for, and have cared for for years that will be facing 'where will I go?'"

- @DetroitEducator

"If we don't get a rate fix, now, this year, then next year I'm going to have to tell [the people we care for] "you're going to have to find a Medicaid bed and you're going to have to try and hire somebody from the church because there won't be providers."

- @JPROSSER2

Many representatives and senators did not know the 55% reduction in rates for post-acute medical providers was in the bill.

"The people of Detroit are really suffering under the new law."

- @DougHeller, nationally recognized insurance expert

"It was supposed to spread the risk so more people could access insurance. Now, if you're living in Detroit & especially if you don't have great credit history, even if you have a perfect driving record, your premium is going to be so much higher even [for] bare bones coverage."

"That's outrageous."

"You get less coverage and pay more..

Even if two people have the same driving record, you're going to pay more if you live on the wrong side of the tracks or you've been financially stressed."

- @DougHeller, on changes to MI no-fault car insurance system

"Is there any chance a legislator would sponsor a bill to repeal this or at least to adjust it? You've told us there are so many legislators who didn't read it or have buyers remorse, is there a chance to turn that remorse into a new bill?" - @MitchAlbom

"It will require the leadership of the House or the Senate taking up the changes."

"The people that stumped the hardest for this, Mayor Duggan and Dan Gilbert, need to face the truth of what has happened to people who need this care."
