Hello Neighbors,\u00a0

<\/span>In 2019, reforms to Michigan\u2019s auto no-fault laws were passed. In the wake of these changes, some people who survived catastrophic auto accidents, and who rely on ongoing medical care in the wake of those accidents, have been left without enough insurance coverage to pay for the care they need.\u00a0
<\/span>
<\/span>A key responsibility we have as legislators is to acknowledge when we can do better. And that is certainly true in this case. This is why Senate Bills\u00a0530<\/a>,\u00a0531<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0575<\/a>\u00a0were passed by the Michigan Senate with bipartisan support earlier this week. This legislative package will enhance the 2019 auto no-fault reform and improve access to affordable post-acute and home care.\u00a0
<\/span>
<\/span>So much in life is unpredictable, but if tragedy strikes, we can reduce uncertainty about care and costs. We are taking much-needed steps to create better circumstances for folks who have been in life-changing auto accidents, their families and their caregivers.\u00a0
<\/span>
<\/span>As Senate Democrats continue our work as the Majority for the People, I will continue to share updates and pertinent information with you. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the latest edition of this newsletter!\u00a0
<\/span>
<\/span>As always, it is my honor to work for you, the people of District 29, to deliver honest, diligent representation in Lansing on the issues that matter most.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

Sincerely,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
