Signatures submitted for Lansing ballot proposal on healthcare access, one of 6 in the state
A ballot proposal submitted to the Lansing City Clerk’s office would establish a Citizens’ Advisory Healthcare Action Committee in an attempt to combat rising healthcare costs and barriers to care in mid-Michigan and beyond.
A press release from Community Action Michigan, a political committee created in April, said that Lansing voters submitted 7,385 signatures to the Lansing City Clerk last week, above the required minimum of 4,433 signatures to get a proposal on the ballot.
The proposal would direct the committee to “prepare a biennial Healthcare Action Plan and make recommendations to the City, and to provide a public process through which the public will be heard and needs assessed,” including through community forums and analysis of local data and policies, according to ballot language published on the group’s website.
The group held a press conference Tuesday to discuss the proposal and announce that signatures had already been turned into Lansing city officials.
