  • Fact Sheet: the House Health Repeal Bill's Impact on Michigan
    Fact Sheet: The House Health Repeal Bill’s Impact on Michigan A year ago, a majority of the House of Representatives, including Representatives Jack Bergman, Bill Huizenga, Justin ​ ​ Amash, John Moolenaar, Fred Upton, Tim Walberg, Mike Bishop, Paul Mitchell, and Dave Trott, voted for and passed the so-called “American Health Care Act,” or AHCA, a health repeal bill that would have cut coverage, increased costs, and eliminated protections for hundreds of thousands of Michiganders. The bill would have imposed an “age tax,” letting insurers charge people over 50 five times more for coverage, and put the health of one in five Americans on Medicaid in jeopardy, including seniors, children, and people with disabilities. While Michiganders would have lost out, the wealthy and insurance and drug companies would have gotten $600 billion in new tax breaks. AHCA Meant Michiganders Would Have Lost Coverage 536,800 Michiganders Would Have Lost Coverage. In 2026, 536,800 Michiganders would have lost coverage under this bill. ​ ​ ​ 343,400 With Medicaid Would Have Lost Coverage. Under the American Health Care Act, 343,400 Michiganders with ​ Medicaid would have lost their coverage. ​ ​ 8,000 Veterans in Michigan Would Have Lost Coverage.

  • Analysis of 2016 General Election
    Analysis of 2016 General Election On Tuesday, November 8, voters cast their ballot to decide a number of national, state, and local races and issues. While the results are in, the work needed to create a better society is not finished. It is important that we each seek to heal divisions, pray for elected officials, and engage with them about issues facing our nation, state, and local communities. Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), congratulated President-Elect Donald Trump and others who were chosen by the American people on November 8th. He also issued a statement calling for all to work for the common good. The following analysis provides an overview of the results in the race for President, the U.S. House of Representatives, the State House of Representatives, the Michigan Supreme Court, and the State Board of Education. The Michigan State University Board of Trustees, University of Michigan Regents, and the Wayne State University Governors are also included as they are decided by voters at the statewide ballot. This piece will also take a look at the political landscape in Michigan going forward. Trump/Pence Win 75 of Michigan’s 83 Counties At the end of the night and early into the hours of Wednesday, November 9, Michigan proved to be a battleground state in the presidential election, defying polls that suggested Hillary Clinton had a significant lead. In fact, the Detroit Free Press mistakenly called Michigan for Secretary Clinton as early as 9 pm. Unofficial results from the Michigan Secretary of State show that Donald Trump narrowly won Michigan with a total of 2,277,914 votes out of 4,785,223 (47.60%) compared to Clinton’s 2,264,807 (47.33%).
