This is a very, sobering and unsettling report about the potential decrease in health services in our state. Currently, I practice as an np in three county jails in Northern Michigan, and also work one day a week at a harm reduction substance use disorder clinic in Cadillac, Michigan. All the patients I see at the SUD clinic are on Medicaid. And patients in the jail I call them patients as opposed to inmates because I’m seeing them for healthcare. Should they have Medicaid It is turned off when they are incarcerated meaning many other medications have to now be subsidized by the County Jail budget. Thank you for this in-depth report.
Thank you for sharing this with us. We're curious if the County Jail budget will be compromised with other federal cuts, thereby leaving your patients without access to care, period. If you're open to keeping us apprised so we can continue to share the stories of our neighbors with each other, we'd be honored. You can DM us here in Substack or email us at IndivisibleGGR@gmail.com Thank you.
I'm still willing to help you with your online protest. I have been trying to reconnect with the person who contacted me originally. I have tried email too. Looking for a secure way to share my contact information with you.
