- Introduced by Sen. Jim Marleau (R) on February 16, 2012, to authorize Michigan’s entry into a multi-state health care compact. If approved by congress all federal Medicaid and Medicare funds would be block-granted to member states, and member states would be exempt from health-related federal regulations and mandates. Member states would have primary responsibility for regulation of all nonmilitary health care goods and services in their state, plus health-related social welfare programs. The bill is cosponsored by 20 out of 26 Senate Republicans, enough to ensure passage if they bring it up for a vote.

- Reported in the Senate on March 20, 2012, with the recommendation that the bill pass.

1) Re: 2012 Senate Bill 973 (Join multi-state Health Care Compact) by gregtt on December 3, 2012The government has been handling Medicare for years now. The CSO, with its great communication tools spends more time hiding information than addressing it. Just take a look at their internal audit findings, emails documenting such findings as using easily guessable or default passwords for server/applications passwords. In the last instance, the person who sent this email was told by the CSO to never do that again because such emails could be supoenaed by the SEC.
This is a very serious bill that they're voting. Are you sure that there will be people that will treat it as it is? As a virtual thing? I think that taking things too serious is not always a good thing as my dentist Nashua is saying. As a fan of video games i will try it but i don't promise anything.
Nowadays the information, education and technology are hand in hand. Even modern medicine uses them in order to cure almost every disease. I have a degree in communications and maybe one day I will change something in this country using these three concepts. Old ideas should make room for new ideas, because only in this way we progress.
