WHEREAS over 43.1 million Americans are at risk of suffering from hunger;
and
WHEREAS there are an estimated 549,000 Americans who are homeless on
any given night; and
WHEREAS in 2020, Michigan estimated that 8,638 people experienced
homelessness on any given day; and
WHEREAS of that total, 1,026 were family households, 639 were Veterans, 484
were unaccompanied young adults (ages 18 – 24), and 1,109 were individuals
experiencing chronic homelessness; and

of which 4,763 were unaccompanied homeless students, 675 were unsheltered

WHEREAS there is a link between healthcare, chronic diseases, trauma, and
access to housing, and that many deaths are due to the disproportionate effects
on persons experiencing homelessness; and
WHEREAS those who are poor and homeless are three to four times more
likely to die prematurely and have a life expectancy 30 years shorter than those
who have housing; and
WHEREAS hunger and homelessness continue to be a serious challenge for
many people who have the right to adequate housing, food, clothing, safety,
and health care; and
WHEREAS with the economic volatility of COVID-19, there is still a looming
threat of evictions that could escalate poverty and homelessness in Oakland
County; and
WHEREAS the citizens of Oakland County are encouraged to commit
themselves to promoting compassion and concern for all, particularly during
these challenging times and the upcoming winter months that pose extreme
hardships for our fellow citizens who are less fortunate, hungry and without
homes; and
WHEREAS any solution to end hunger and homelessness must be grounded in
greater access to community resources, jobs, affordable housing, and
supportive services to help individuals not only meet their basic needs, but
thrive in their community; and
WHEREAS by joining together, we can provide solutions to end hunger and
homelessness in our communities throughout Oakland County.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners recognize November 13 – 21, 2021, as National Hunger and
Homeless Awareness Week in Oakland County and encourage citizens to come
together to resolve the factors that lead to hunger and homelessness within our

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #21-441
Sponsored By: Chuck Moss
IN RE: Requesting the Rescission of the Oakland County Health Division’s
Emergency Order (2021-01) Requiring all Students and Staff to Wear Face
Masks in a School Setting
WHEREAS on August 24, 2021, Oakland County Executive David Coulter, by
and through an order of the Oakland County Health Division (OCHD), issued an
Emergency Health Order that required, among other things, all pre-kindergarten
through grade twelve students to wear face masks in schools; and
WHEREAS the OCHD has listed no legal consequence for failure to wear a
mask; and
WHEREAS there is currently no declared state of emergency due to the
COVID-19 pandemic in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the neighboring counties of Livingston, Macomb, and Lapeer have
similar data regarding the number of new cases of COVID-19 per 100,000
people weekly and do not have countywide K-12 school mask mandates; and
WHEREAS Public Act 87 of 2021, signed by Governor Whitmer on September
29, 2021, in Section 250 clearly states that “the director or a local health officer
shall not issue or enforce any orders or other directives that require an
individual in this state who is under the age of 18 to wear a face mask or face
covering.”
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners requests that the Oakland County Health Department
immediately rescinds its pre-kindergarten through grade twelve mask mandate
for all students and staff, consistent with Public Act 87 of 2021.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the parents and citizens of Oakland County
will be responsible for their own health and the health of their children.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds
is requested to forward copies of the adopted resolution to the Oakland County
Executive, David Coulter, and the Director of the Oakland County Health
Division, Leigh-Anne Stafford.

b.Support of the Protecting Seniors Through Immunization Act of 2021
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #21-442
Sponsored By: Kristen Nelson, Angela Powell, Janet Jackson
IN RE: Support of the Protecting Seniors Through Immunization Act of
2021
WHEREAS immunizations are one of the greatest medical advances in human
history; and
WHEREAS vaccines have essentially eradicated deadly and debilitating
diseases, such as measles, chickenpox, and polio, that were once
commonplace; and
WHEREAS older adults and persons with chronic conditions such as heart
disease, diabetes and lung disease are especially vulnerable to serious illness
and complications from vaccine preventable diseases; and
WHEREAS Medicare coverage for these populations does not encourage
access to this proven and cost-effective form of prevention; and
WHEREAS since 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
Annual Call letter to Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans has
brought to light the need to strengthen beneficiary access to Part D vaccines to
protect against costly and devastating vaccine preventable conditions; and
WHEREAS a 2017 report by Avalere Health found between 47 and 72 percent
of the 24 million Medicare beneficiaries with Part D coverage had some level of
cost sharing for vaccines, ranging from $35 to $70 in 2015; and
WHEREAS another study found that only 4 percent or less of Medicare Part D
enrollees had access to vaccines with no cost sharing; and
WHEREAS on March 23, 2021, the Protecting Seniors Through Immunization
Act of 2021 was introduced in the U.S. Senate; and
WHEREAS this bipartisan legislation would provide Medicare beneficiaries
access to all recommended vaccines at no additional cost, including shingles
and tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap); and
WHEREAS under current law, Medicare immunization coverage varies by
vaccine; and
WHEREAS some vaccines, like those that protect against influenza and
pneumococcal infection, are available with no additional out-of-pocket spending;
and
WHEREAS however, other vaccines—like the shingles vaccine—often require
significant additional spending, which in turn contributes to lower vaccination
rates, particularly for elderly, disabled, and chronically ill people; and
WHEREAS prior to the pandemic, more than 50,000 adults in America died
from vaccine-preventable diseases every year, and the United States spent
more than $15 billion annually treating Medicare beneficiaries alone for vaccine-
preventable diseases; and
WHEREAS the Act would reduce financial barriers by providing Medicare
coverage of adult vaccines recommended by the Center for Disease Control
and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices with no
additional cost-sharing for beneficiaries; and
WHEREAS it would also improve patient education by including information
about vaccine coverage in the Medicare & You Handbook and require a study
on vaccine uptake among Medicare beneficiaries; and
WHEREAS Americans deserve better access to high value preventive adult
immunizations than what is presently available.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby supports the Protecting Seniors Through Immunization
Act of 2021.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED Americans deserve better access to high value
preventive adult immunizations than what is presently available.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds
is requested to forward copies of the adopted resolution to the U.S. Senate
Majority and Minority Leaders and the members of the Michigan Senate
delegation.
The Chairperson referred the resolution to the Legislative Affairs and
Government Operations Committee. There were no objections.
c.Urging State Legislature to Amend the Michigan No-Fault Auto Insurance
Reform Act to Address a Reimbursement Cap for Auto Accident Victims
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #21-443
Sponsored By: Charles Cavell, Eileen Kowall, Robert Hoffman, Janet Jackson,
Gwen Markham, Gary McGillivray
IN RE: Urging State Legislature to Amend the Michigan No-Fault Auto
Insurance Reform Act to Address a Reimbursement Cap for Auto Accident
Victims
WHEREAS the Michigan No-Fault Auto Insurance Reform Act of 2019
introduced a fee schedule, which took effect on July 1, 2021, that set
percentage limits on how much doctors, hospitals, clinics, institutions, and
persons can be paid or reimbursed for providing treatment or care to auto
accident victims; and
WHEREAS the reimbursement rates under the Michigan No-Fault medical fee
schedule limit the amount payable to a health provider for treatment or services
reimbursable by Medicare, limit the reimbursement rate for care providers
whose treatment or services are not covered by Medicare, and limit No-Fault
coverage for in-home family provided care; and
WHEREAS rates for services not provided by Medicare were reduced by 45%
from what providers received in January 2019; and
WHEREAS the new law applies retroactively the changes made to a fee
schedule, which is fundamentally unfair to individuals who purchased coverage
and were injured in motor vehicle accidents before the No-Fault Act was
amended in 2019; and
WHEREAS these fee caps affect the auto accident victims who are receiving
long-term care and rehabilitation paid for by the Michigan Catastrophic Claims
Association (MCCA) through the per-vehicle annual fee that all Michigan drivers
were once assessed; and
WHEREAS the MCCA’s 2021 Annual Statement shows its assets are over $27
billion and its total liabilities are slightly over $22 billion; and
WHEREAS after the updated medical fee schedules have gone into effect, auto
accident victims are struggling now to access even minimal care; and
WHEREAS some patients who are not able to find long-term catastrophic care
services could be forced to leave their own homes; and
WHEREAS the new law is also causing a lot of payment delays, payment
denials and unnecessary hurdles which patients did not have to go through prior
to July 1, 2021; and
WHEREAS even though lifetime medical benefits are still guaranteed under the
new law, they are meaningless if patients have very limited or no access to
them; and
WHEREAS there are many Oakland County residents, and their families, who
are currently benefitting, or would in the future, from services pertaining to their
care, recovery and rehabilitation from catastrophic injuries but are already
directly affected if the current law is not changed; and
WHEREAS significant numbers of Oakland County medical and rehabilitation
businesses that serve accident victims who are covered under this law suffer
income loss and could be forced to lay off employees, or even close entirely, if
this reform is not changed; and
WHEREAS already more than 18,000 individuals with spinal cord injuries, brain
injuries and other catastrophic injuries in Michigan have to find another way to
receive care and support because of this major change to the State’s No-Fault
auto insurance law; and
WHEREAS according to the Michigan Brain Injury Provider Council (MBIPC),
more than 750 patients have already lost access to medical care since the
changes took effect in July; and
WHEREAS at least 41 Michigan-based care companies have had to either
close their doors completely or discharge patients receiving benefits via No-
Fault auto insurance; and
WHEREAS these actions have already put at least 1,500 healthcare workers
out of a job; and
WHEREAS this is a humanitarian crisis born from a government-mandated
price fix, and only the legislature can undo it; and
WHEREAS there is bipartisan support to address the reimbursement issues,
but the House and Senate leadership have so far taken what appears to be a
“wait and see” approach to the July 1, 2021, fee schedule change.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby urges the Michigan Legislature to amend the Michigan
No-Fault Auto Insurance Reform Act to address a sustainable reimbursement
cap for services provided to auto accident victims and preserve the benefits to
survivors who receive long-term care paid by the Michigan Catastrophic Claims
Association
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds
is requested to forward copies of the adopted resolution to the Governor of the
State of Michigan, the State Senate Majority and Minority leaders, the State
House Speaker and Minority Leader, and the members of the Oakland County
delegation to the Michigan Legislature.
