<span style="font-size: larger;">The state of Michigan spent $481,050 to help set up state health-insurance exchange under the federal Affordable Care Act,&nbsp; even though the Michigan Legislature did not authorize creating a state-level exchange. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">In 2012, the Senate approved legislation authorizing one but the House declined, with the result that Michigan currently has an exchange run by the federal government.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">Representative elect Gary Glenn, R-Midland, will formally request that the state House of Representatives investigate&nbsp; Michigan&rsquo;s payment for these services.</span><br />
