title: Health care matters.
abstract: A landmark election year is an ideal time to remind the public about the critical role that health care plays in our quality of life. As candidates for office publicly debate the issues the matter most to Michiganders, it is imperative that we tell our story and elevate health care to the very pinnacle of the state's priority list. In short, we need to explain clearly why health care matters.
