Health Care Topic of Meeting
Jackson Citizen-Patriot | April 24, 2008
Between 12,000 and 16,000 people in Jackson County do not have health insurance, a Foote Health Systems case manager said.
That's one reason state Sen. Mark Schauer conducted a town hall meeting Wednesday to help educate the community about Jackson County's health-care resources.
Schauer, D-Battle Creek, said the "health-care crisis'' is bankrupting consumers and making businesses less competitive. Schauer is campaigning this year to unseat U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Tipton, in the 7th District, which includes Jackson County.
