Healthcare That Works
No Michigan family should lose healthcare because they change jobs, get sick, or can’t afford rising premiums.
Michigan families deserve healthcare they can rely on.
But today’s system is dominated by insurance companies and pharmaceutical corporations that profit from complexity, high premiums, and denied care.
Too many families are forced to choose between paying for healthcare or paying for other basic necessities.
Healthcare should be treated as a public necessity —
not a profit center for insurance companies.

What’s Driving Healthcare Costs?
Insurance Company Profiteering
Premiums rise while insurers deny care and increase profits.
Pharmaceutical
Price Gouging
Premiums rise while insurers deny care and increase profits.
Administrative Complexity
A maze of insurance plans, billing systems, and middlemen wastes billions.
Who Benefits From the Current System?
Large insurance companies and pharmaceutical corporations profit from a complicated system that puts patients last.
When healthcare becomes a business instead of a public good, families pay more and receive less.
Michigan deserves a healthcare system designed for patients — not profits.
That’s why I’m proposing MI-Care, a universal healthcare system built to deliver care simply, affordably, and reliably.
The MI-Care Plan
Michigan doesn’t need a more complicated healthcare system — it needs one that simply works.
MI-Care would create a universal healthcare program guaranteeing coverage for every Michigan resident while eliminating the insurance middlemen that drive up costs.
Healthcare decisions should be made by patients and doctors — not insurance companies.
MI-Care guarantees comprehensive healthcare coverage, from routine care to specialized treatment, so every Michigander can get the care they need when they need it.
Primary &
Emergency Care
Access to doctors, hospitals, and emergency services without worrying about networks or surprise bills.
MI-Care guarantees every Michigan resident can see a primary care doctor, get preventive care, and receive emergency treatment when it matters most.
Mental Health Care
Mental health is health care.
MI-Care covers therapy, counseling, crisis care, and psychiatric treatment so people can get support when they need it.
Prescription Drugs
Essential medications should be affordable and available.
MI-Care works alongside MI-Meds to lower drug prices and prevent shortages.
Dental, Vision & Hearing Care
Oral health, vision, and hearing are essential parts of overall health.
MI-Care includes dental care, eye exams and glasses, and hearing services so Michiganders can stay healthy and independent at every stage of life.
Long-Term & Disability Care
Support for seniors and people living with disabilities.
MI-Care covers long-term care services, home care, and assistance so people can live with dignity and independence.
Pet Health Services
Families shouldn’t have to choose between caring for themselves and caring for their pets.
MI-Care includes basic veterinary support programs to help Michigan families keep their pets healthy and cared for.
MI-Care would be funded through a fair tax structure that asks the wealthiest incomes and investment profits to contribute more — while lowering healthcare costs for most Michigan families.
Why This Matters for Michigan Families
No one should have to worry about losing healthcare because they change jobs or face a medical emergency.
MI-Care would guarantee that every Michigan resident can access affordable care without navigating a complicated system of private insurers.
How MI-Care Saves Michigan Families Money
Today, families pay for healthcare through premiums, deductibles, copays, and rising prescription prices.
MI-Care replaces this patchwork of costs with a simpler system that lowers overall healthcare spending while guaranteeing coverage.
Key Points
No Premiums or Surprise bills
Families would no longer face rising insurance premiums, hidden fees, or surprise medical bills.
Lower Prescription Drug Prices
Public pharmaceutical manufacturing and negotiated pricing would bring down the cost of essential medications.
Less Bureaucracy
Eliminating insurance middlemen reduces administrative waste and redirects money toward actual care.
More Financial Security
Families would no longer have to choose between paying for healthcare and paying for housing, groceries, or other basic needs.
How MI-Care Is Paid For
Michigan already spends billions of dollars every year on healthcare through private insurance, employer plans, and government programs.
MI-Care reorganizes these existing healthcare dollars into a single, more efficient system focused on care instead of profit.
Key Points
Replace Private Insurance Premiums
What families and employers currently pay in premiums would instead fund a public healthcare program that covers everyone.
Fair Tax Structure
Funding would come from a fair tax structure that asks the wealthiest incomes and investment profits to contribute more while lowering healthcare costs for most Michigan families.
Administrative Savings
By eliminating insurance middlemen and reducing billing bureaucracy, MI-Care saves billions in administrative costs.
Lower Overall Healthcare Spending
Countries and states with universal systems consistently spend less per person while achieving better health outcomes.
Lowering Drug Prices
Prescription drug costs have become one of the biggest drivers of healthcare expenses.
Michigan can take action by creating MI-Meds, state pharmaceutical manufacturing program that produces essential medications at cost.
This approach would:
• Lower prescription drug prices
• Prevent shortages of critical medications
• Create manufacturing jobs in Michigan
• Strengthen domestic supply chains
Essential medicines should be treated as public necessities — not profit centers.
Michigan’s Future Is Worth Fighting For
If you believe government should work for working families — not the well-connected few — join our campaign.
Together we can build a Michigan that is more affordable, more accountable, and more fair.
