TO: The Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairman, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County, Michigan and the United States is struggling through a
severe, economic recession that is negatively affecting families of all income levels,
causing a decrease in those income levels; and
WHEREAS Oakland County Officials are elected to protect the health and welfare of
their constituents; and
WHEREAS the Health system in the United States is not perfect, but it is the best system
in the world that even draws people from all over the world to come and seek their health
solutions here; and
WHEREAS the National Association of Counties (NACo) is trying to undermine our
health system grid by asserting its organization and asking all counties in America to
support the new unsound and ill-advised legislation in Congress tlIB 3200); and
WHEREAS Oakland County pays tax dollars to be a member of this organization
(NACo); and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls on NACo to take a
neutral stand on HB 3200.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners requests NACo to remove Oakland County, Michigan from its
membership list until a neutral stand is adopted by its organization on HB 3200.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
respectfully requests the Oakland County Clerk, Ruth Johnson, to forward copies of this
adopted resolution to the National Association of Counties (NAO.)) Health System
Reform Group chaired by (NACo) President Valerie Brown, as well as to our two
Michigan U.S. Senators and U.S. Congressional Representatives that represent any part
of Oakland County in Washington D.C.
