I just read the suggested legislation requiring the State of Michigan to pay for all hearing aids. ALL hearing aids, not just for the poor. If that passes, the State is going to need all the taxes and penalties it can gather.
But why hire/pay an outside agency? Surely this is one case, much like the Feds taking over student loans, where the State can save/make lots of money by "cutting out the middle man."

Senator Whitmer's statement, in which Senators Clark-Coleman, Scott and Brater concurred, is as follows:
I voted "no" on that last bill because this is just yet another one-time fix. Michigan has a structural budget deficit
that this Legislature for ten years, has avoided making the long-term tough decisions to put our ship right. This is
simply a get-out-of-dodge move. I am not going to support it. I am tired of these one-time fixes.
