Veto Messages
Subsequent to the final adjournment of the Regular Session of the Legislature, the following messages from the Governor were received:
INSURANCE; HEALTH; REVISE REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO NONPROFIT
MUTUAL DISABILITY INSURER TO ACCOMMODATE MERGER
WITH NONPROFIT HEALTH CARE CORPORATION
December 28, 2012
Today I am returning to you Senate Bill 1293 without signature. Senate Bill 1293 is part of a two-bill package that brings serious and much needed reforms to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, which is our state’s health insurer of last resort. These bills would convert Blue Cross into a nonprofit mutual insurer and would create the Michigan Health Endowment Fund. These are important reforms that should take place in advance of sweeping changes to the health care delivery system brought about by the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Unfortunately, language was added to Senate Bill 1293 late in the legislature’s consideration of the bill that I am unable to support. This language would change the private insurance market for abortion coverage by requiring the holders of group health insurance policies to “opt in” to abortion coverage. I have agreed that it would be appropriate to require people to opt into abortion coverage on the government-sponsored health care exchange.
I adopted this position because the health care exchange is a creature of government that will be supported with public funds. It is appropriate in my judgment for government to set reasonable rules for the provision of abortion coverage on a government-sponsored and publicly-funded health exchange. “Opting in” to this coverage should not be difficult, whether it occurs on or off the health exchange, and it is my understanding that the coverage should be available at nominal additional cost.
However, Senate Bill 1293 goes beyond what is appropriate in two important respects. First, it treats situations that involve rape, incest, and the health of the mother as elective abortions that would require a separate insurance rider in order for the termination of such pregnancies to be covered. I am personally pro-life and against abortion except in cases of rape, incest, and to preserve the life or health of the mother. I don’t believe it is appropriate to tell a woman who becomes pregnant due to a rape that she needed to select additional optional insurance coverage in order for the termination of her pregnancy to be a covered procedure.
Second, the abortion language in Senate Bill 1293 goes beyond the government-sponsored health care exchange and interferes in the current private marketplace for health insurance. Insurance companies and private buyers of insurance should be able to conduct their business relationships free of intrusive government regulation that is not, in this case, designed to protect consumers from unscrupulous business practices.
Senate Bill 1294 is tie-barred to Senate Bill 1293. Because I am returning Senate Bill 1293 to you without signature Senate Bill 1294 will also not become law.
The Legislature’s reforms to transition Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan to a nonprofit mutual company will play an important role in providing better access to quality health care and investment in the health of all Michiganders. I thank the Senate and House for their commitment to reinventing health care in Michigan, and I look forward to working with you to address the issues raised here and make this much needed reform a reality.
ANIMALS; MODIFY REFERENCE TO CONTACT WITH LARGE
CARNIVORE OVER 20 WEEKS OF AGE; AND OTHER GENERAL REVISIONS
ANIMALS; IMPLEMENT IMPORTATION REQUIREMENTS FOR LARGE CARNIVORE
January 3, 2013
Today I am returning to you Enrolled Senate Bill 1236 and Senate Bill 703 without signature. While I support the provisions of the bills that revise regulations protecting patrons of facilities that adopt bears, I am concerned that other parts of the bills contradict the primary goal of the Large Carnivore Act to protect public health, public safety and animal welfare.
Large carnivores that are kept in compliance with the current law are a minimal threat to the public. USDA Class A dealers were not included as an exemption to any part of current law since Class A dealers are in the business of breeding animals and therefore in contradiction to one of the primary goals of existing law. Completely eliminating the breeding prohibition and including Class A dealers in the statute’s exemptions could lead to gaps in public health protection and animal welfare.
I encourage the legislature to resubmit the portion of the bill protecting patrons of facilities that adopt bears as a standalone bill. I also encourage the legislature to continue to work with all stakeholders to respond to the desire to include other accreditation entities within the exemptions to the Large Carnivore Act while continuing to protect public health, public safety and animal welfare.
Sincerely,
Rick Snyder
Governor
