    Letter to my state senator - 11/16/11 (none / 0) (#4)
    by Bruce on Fri Jan 20, 2012 at 12:35:57 PM EST
    Dear Sen. Marleau:

    I am writing to express concern with a provision in HB 5014 (Senate Version - http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2011-2012/billengrossed/House/htm/2011-HEBS-5014.htm ) section 110:

       (3) MIHEALTH MARKETPLACE

       Full-time equated classified positions............ 2.5

    MIHealth marketplace project--2.5 FTE positions........ $       9,850,000

    GROSS APPROPRIATION.................................... $      9,850,000

        Appropriated from:

       Federal revenues:

    HHS-level 1 planning grant for health care exchange....         9,850,000

    It is my understanding that accepting federal funds for establishing a so-called "health care marketplace" commits Michigan to continue funding this action beyond the initial federal funding.  Additionally, it establishes another federal/state bureaucracy that may well destroy the free market insurance choices presently available.  My question to you is: are you supporting this effort and why?  This is a long-term burden on the State of Michigan and its residents for a short-term payout by the federal government.

    Sincerely,

    Bruce Hall
