🚨FACT CHECK, TRUE: John James Voted to Increase Michiganders’ Healthcare Costs Three Times
New reporting by Bridge Michigan exposed John James’ healthcare record — confirming he’s voted at least three times to raise the healthcare costs of Michiganders. In January, Jocelyn declared healthcare the “defining issue” of the race and is still the only candidate with a real plan to lower medical bills, improve outcomes, and expand access to lifesaving care. While Jocelyn is laser focused on lowering costs, James has spent his time in Congress voting to rip away Michiganders’ healthcare and raise premiums on thousands.
