Lawmakers are advancing HB 4399 — a bill that removes physicians from care teams and allows nurse practitioners to practice without a doctor’s supervision. Supporters claim it will fix access issues and lower costs. But in states that passed similar laws, care hasn’t gotten faster or cheaper—it’s just gotten more fragmented.

Instead of investing in real solutions, HB 4399 doubles down on shortcuts that weaken oversight and put Michigan patients at risk. When physicians are removed from care teams, patients are more likely to face delays, repeat visits, and higher out-of-pocket costs—especially when care gets complex.

Michigan’s health care system is already stretched too thin. This bill will only make things worse. Tell your lawmakers to vote NO on HB 4399. Michigan patients deserve real solutions—not policies that make it harder to see a doctor.
