Introduced by Rep. Gretchen Whitmer (D) on February 23, 2005, the executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2005-2006 Department of Community Health budget. This appropriates $10.206 billion in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $10.013 billion, which was the FY 2004-2005 amount enrolled in 2004. Of this, $4.738 billion will come from non-federal revenues generated in this state, compared to the FY 2004-2005 amount of $4.600 billion.

1) House Bill 4379 [by Anonymous Citizen on April 8, 2005] We urge you to strike language in House Bill 4379, Sec. 1202 (b) stating "and who are not otherwise covered by health insurance." Michigan must retain medical
assistance for adults with CF, as many of these individuals cannot afford
the out of pocket expenses for CF care. Further, maintaining this
assistance program will save Michigan more dollars on more costly care if
these individuals are denied benefits and must turn to Medicaid.
