A2: Health Spending

By

Both the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News report on a study by the Ann Arbor-based Center for Healthcare Research & Transformation, which compared personal spending on health care, by state. The study found that spending by Michigan residents and insurers is lower than most other states. The Detroit News quotes Marianne Udow-Phillips, the center’s director: “Relative to other states, a lot of the creative ideas we have (to keep health care costs down) are paying off.” [Source] [Source]
