The new budget recently passed by Senate Democrats not only kicks 60,000 vulnerable Michiganders off of Medicaid, their budget also has a $1 billion deficit, making it illegal and unconstitutional. 

All state budgets must be balanced as required by law. 

The Senate Fiscal Agency on May 15th confirmed that the budget the Senate Democrats passed “leads to a negative $968.5 million balance in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget.”

The Senate budget was not only unbalanced by $1 billion according to the Senate Fiscal Agency, but their budget did not include the proper consensus Medicaid caseload and utilization updates. 

On May 16, the Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference (which not a single Democrat bothered to attend) released its official economic forecast, confirming that since January’s estimate, state Medicaid spending is up $509 million. 

This means if the Senate Democrats do not change their budget, they will be putting the healthcare of 60,000 of some of the most vulnerable Michiganders at risk!

Stay tuned...
