As Michigan continues to struggle with the rising costs of healthcare, the latest solution from Lansing Democrats: drop dead. Yes, as hard as it is to believe, lawmakers have just introduced a 4-bill package in the Michigan House of Representatives to implement physician assisted suicide here in Michigan. House bills 5825 – 5828 would not only repeal the state's longstanding safeguards against assisted suicide but would make Michigan a suicide tourism destination.
We need your help to make the voice of Michiganders clear to Lansing politicians: suicide is NOT healthcare. By using our included form, you will be sending the message that
- People facing difficult medical conditions need palliative care and support, not lethal drugs.
- Legalizing assisted suicide puts the elderly and disabled at greater risk for coercion and abuse.
- Insurance companies may deny coverage for treatment while offering assisted suicide as a cheaper alternative.
- Both the American Medical Association and the Michigan State Medical Society oppose legalizing physician-assisted suicide.
There is nothing dignified about committing suicide with the help of your medical provider. We need real solutions to aid the sick, disabled, and vulnerable. Please fill out the form and urge your legislator to reject H.B. 5825, 5826, 5827 & 5828 and vote NO on assisted suicide and the so-called “Death with Dignity Act”.
