- The motion prevailed. Senator Webber’s statement is as follows: Over the past several weeks, the majority in this chamber has spent countless hours in committee and on the floor debating issues that, quite frankly, we as state legislators have no control over; but today, we have a real opportunity to do something meaningful, something we do have control over. The only reason these bills are before us today is because I called for immediate action in committee. These bipartisan bills would expand Medicaid coverage to group prenatal care for expecting mothers, support that would make a real difference for families in communities across our state. I’m glad we’re finally taking them up and I’m proud to support these bills. I urge my colleagues to join me in voting “yes.” Senator Hauck’s statement is as follows: I rise in support of these bills, but also to share my disappointment. These bipartisan bills are a concrete way that we can help low-income Michiganders receive prenatal services, but they should have become law a long time ago. After being passed by the chamber last year, they were the victim of the House Democrats’ dysfunction at the end of 2024. Now, we’re halfway through 2025 and they’re just now receiving another vote in the Senate. Why? Because for weeks Democrats used the Health Policy Committee to hold press conference disguised as committee hearings to bash Donald Trump. It wasn’t dissimilar to the entire session day Democrats spent last week giving floor speeches about the President instead of finalizing a budget for schools. Mr. President, we cannot control what happens in Washington, D.C., but these bills are an example of what we can do for the people of Michigan. Democrats just need to take a break from their Trump derangement syndrome to realize it— I ask for a “yes” vote.
