Good, I guess? I was hoping to see something about premium controls but it sounds more like offering people new navigators to guide them through the best existing options. Michigan's trifecta protected ACA minimum coverages at the state level but I guess they didn't control how much they charge. 🤷🏻

#TrumpsTariffs = taxes, and Michiganders are paying the price. From groceries to auto parts, the #CostOfChaos is hitting our wallets hard. Dems believe in providing people with financial relief because you shouldn't have to pay more for political games.

In Michigan, we grow things, and we are really good at it. But forces beyond a farmer’s control often make reaching new markets difficult. (1/2) www.slotkin.senate.gov/press-releas...
