Republican Governor of Michigan troubled by Graham-Cassidy.
Mackinac Island – Republican Gov. Rick Snyder said Saturday he is still reviewing a new U.S. Senate plan to overhaul the federal health care system but is concerned by outside analyses suggesting it could be bad for Michigan.
“There’s been a lot of third-party studies that say it will be anywhere from very bad to somewhat bad for Michigan,” Snyder told The Detroit News Saturday at the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference. “I want to do my own research.”
Snyder said he is likely to release his own analysis Monday.
“It’s going to be factual and based on what it’s going to do to Michigan, good or bad,” he said. “I don’t want to speculate until I see the numbers.”
The Senate legislation is supported by GOP President Donald Trump and could be put up for a vote next week. But the latest attempt to repeal and replace the controversial Obama-era health care law appears to be on life support as majority Republicans struggle to secure the 50 votes needed for passage.
