GRAND RAPIDS, MI (WTVB) – Governor Gretchen Whitmer is taking input on the obstacles faced by low-income residents in west Michigan to getting quality health care and affordable prescriptions.
After a roundtable discussion yesterday at Cherry Health in Grand Rapids, she was asked if there’s anything that can be done by the state to help bring the costs down for medicine.
Cherry Health is Michigan’s largest federally qualified health center. Whitmer heard from people who want to see big changes in how they access care and one patient who described having to cut pills in half to stretch the supply because of how much it costs.
