dollar savings to the state over a ten year period into a fund to offset costs to the state in the future; and WHEREAS the proposed Medicaid reform is estimated to grant health care eligibility to an approximately
1.2 million people, providing coverage for an additional 620,000 Michiganders and greatly reduce the number of the uninsured; and

coverage will benefit from the proposed Medicaid reform; and WHEREAS a recent study conducted by the RAND Foundation found that uninsured individuals who

WHEREAS a quarter of Oakland County’s top 25 employers are hospitals, the largest employer in Oakland County is a health care provider and in the past five years Medical Main Street has helped
