Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s administration is advancing a plan that could reshape how more than 300,000 Michiganders receive behavioral and mental health services. The proposal involves shifting nearly $5 billion in tax dollars, sparking debate across the state.

On this week’s MichMash, hosts Cheyna Roth and Zach Gorchow break down the proposal, exploring why some believe it will improve access and streamline care while others warn it could weaken community-based services. They also discuss the politics behind the plan, how it fits into Michigan’s broader health care landscape, and what it could mean for families who rely on this care.

Listen to the full conversation to hear what’s at stake for providers, patients, and policymakers as Michigan weighs this major change.
