TL;DR Summary
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has directed the state Department of Insurance and Financial Services to protect Michiganders from the potential loss of health insurance coverage for preventive services including colon and lung cancer screenings, and for preventive drugs for breast cancer, heart disease and HIV. This comes after a federal judge in Texas struck down a provision in the Affordable Care Act that requires insurance companies to fully cover certain preventive health services, a ruling that could have major ripple effects in Michigan and across the country.
