Every penny counts. Our doctors don’t need new taxes. Governor Jennifer Granholm included a $300 million tax on Michigan’s health care system as part of her FY 2011 budget proposal, so MSMS is fighting the wrong-headed physician tax again. The Detroit News agrees it would “make Michigan the lone state with such a tax, motivate its medical school graduates to set up practice elsewhere and add to the existing shortage of primary care physicians here.” Read the full Detroit News article at www.msms.org/medicaid. TAKE ACTION NOW – Use the MSMS Action Center ( www.msms.org/action) to send a message to state lawmakers, urging them to oppose the tax on physicians.
