The Michigan House Standing Committee on Health Policy refused to report out Senate Bill 693, the State Healthcare Exchange bill, that had passed the Senate earlier in the year.<br />
<br />
At this point the bill is probably dead for this legislative session but Governor Snyder and his &ldquo;Positive, Relentless, Action&rdquo; attitude will probably resurrect it in the next legislative session that convenes in 2013. <br />
<br />
He will undoubtedly be working on the incoming Freshmen House members to get them to support the legislation and to pass the exchange.<br />
<br />
Clinton County&rsquo;s State Representative Paul Opsommer was instrumental in defeating the bill as one of the Health Policy committee members.<br />
