WHMI: Howell Mom Says Son's Care Threatened By Auto No-Fault Fee Cut

In this great piece by Jon King of WHMI, King interviews survivor Dillon Bond’s mother, Rebecca, who says her son would not be alive today without his rehabilitative care. The Livingston County mother says without a fix to the fee schedule, her son will lose the vital in-home care he needs to survive. 

“Without many of his therapies, I have no doubt my son would not be alive today. Dillon’s home care keeps him out of the hospital and steadies his healing path. It gives me hope when everything is hopeless.”

MBIPC President Tom Judd weighed in on the misconceptions around HB 4486 and SB 314.

“I think that there’s some misconceptions out there that these solutions will add cost to the system. That’s not true. That patients with benefits before July 1st will continue to have these benefits? That’s true. But those benefits will not have value; they will not have access to quality care and services that they deserve. So we’re looking for leadership to step up, to acknowledge the wrong and make it right.”

King also reached out to Republican State Senator Lana Theis, of Brighton Township, who chairs the Senate Insurance and Banking Committee, but her office did not bother to comment. Read more in this WHMI article, and share this post on your social media accounts.
