LANSING, MI (MPRN)-- If you think you’re paying too much for your prescription drugs – Democratic lawmakers in Lansing agree.
Some House Democrats have introduced bills aimed at making medical care more affordable.
Lower copays, expansion of what must be covered by insurance, and more protections for consumers are some of the key areas bills in a new legislative package would tackle.
Democratic Representative Jon Hoadley is a bill sponsor.
“At the end of the day, this is about making sure that we’re putting Michigan health and our safety over profits.”
Supporters say that everyone should have access to quality, affordable health care.
If passed, insurance companies would have a cap of five dollars for co-pays for primary care and behavioral health providers.
The state Attorney General would have to investigate the price of insulin and make recommendations for consumer protections.
