WHEREAS the COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for both physical

WHEREAS on September 14, 2023, the Board of Commissioners adopted
Miscellaneous Resolution 23-3200 which accepted $5,000,000 from the

health services; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Health Division, St. Joseph Mercy Oakland
Hospital, McLaren Hospital, Oakland Community Health Network, and Honor
Community Health will partner to address the need for increased access to
primary care and mental health services by creating an Urgent Primary and
Behavioral Health Center (UPBHC) in Pontiac; and
WHEREAS an integrated urgent care center would improve access to primary
care and mental health services and would be open to all individuals seeking
service, regardless of ability to pay, and offer both in person and telehealth
visits to limit barriers to seeking care; and
WHEREAS a $1,000,000 investment will develop an innovative approach to
providing integrated behavioral and physical health-care services to Oakland
County residents; and
WHEREAS under the initial guidance of the Interim Final Rule, the County may
use American Rescue Plan Act – Local Fiscal Recovery Funds at their
discretion to support eligible investments in public health expenditures, address
negative economic impacts caused by public health emergency, replace lost
public sector revenue, provide premium pay to essential workers, and invest in
water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure.
NOW THEREFORE IT BE RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the appropriation of a not-to-exceed amount of
$1,000,000 of American Rescue Plan Act – Local Fiscal Recovery Funds for the
Urgent Primary and Behavioral Health Center in Pontiac.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of appropriations of American
Rescue Plan Act – Local Fiscal Recovery Funds for programs and services by
Oakland County shall not obligate a commitment of the General Fund, unless
authorized by action of the Board of Commissioners.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of Health & Human Services
shall act as contract administrator for the assessment project and shall be
authorized to enter into a contract for services subject to review by the

Prescription Drug Cost and Affordability Review Act
Resolution #2023-3584 _
Resolution Supporting Senate Bills 483-485 to enact the Prescription Drug
Cost and Affordability Review Act
Sponsored By: Charles Cavell, Ajay Raman
WHEREAS according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
high prescription drug prices create affordability challenges for patients and the
health care system. Among existing products, increases in average prices over
time have added to these challenges with some drug price increases even
exceeding the rate of inflation; and
WHEREAS the high cost of prescription drugs often requires individuals to
choose between necessary medication and essential goods and services; and
WHEREAS the Wolters Kluwer survey found that over the past few years, more
than two in five respondents (44%) have chosen not to fill a prescription
because of the cost. Multiplied across the US adult population, that’s more than
100 million people who potentially skipped or delayed needed care because of
cost; and
WHEREAS according to another recent poll, nearly 60% of Michiganders over
the age of 50 report having not filled a prescription due to an outrageous price
tag; and
WHEREAS Senate Bills 483-485, introducing the Prescription Drug Cost and
Affordability Review Act, would create the Prescription Drug Affordability Board
(PDAB) and the Prescription Drug Affordability Stakeholder Council (Council) to
combat the increasing cost of prescription drugs and provide a way to lower
prescription drug costs for Michigan residents; and
WHEREAS the PDAB would conduct cost affordability reviews and establish an
upper payment limit on a prescription drug product, which is a cap on the
amount that a prescription drug purchaser or payer could pay for the product;
and
WHEREAS six states have established a Prescription Drug Affordability Board
to successfully set upper payment price limits on the most expensive
prescription drugs and additional states are in the process of creating their own
independent boards.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners supports Senate Bills 483-485 to enact the Prescription Drug
Cost and Affordability Review Act.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds
is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to the Governor of the
State of Michigan, the State Senate Majority and Minority leaders, the State
House Speaker and Minority leader, the members of the Oakland County
delegation to the Michigan Legislature, and the Board of Commissioner’s
legislative lobbyist.
The Chair referred the Resolution to the Legislative Affairs and Government
Operations Committee. There were no objections.
