Michigan Governor Plans to Help Those Without Health Insurance

Governor Granholm's state of the state address is scheduled for this Wednesday. A spokesperson for the governor says it will include a proposal to help residents without health insurance. The one-billion dollar plan, if passed, will provide health insurance to half of the people in the state currently without coverage. It's designed to alleviate some of the strain that the uninsured place on businesses and the economy. Funding for her proposal will come from the state and federal government.
