the details on arkansas and michigan from steve fitton bay. arkansas is is under review new hampshire's in the process of applying. these states are all taking very different approaches but with the exception of michigan most states are using what is referred to as manned. premium assistance where states use medicaid funds to pay premiums for their beneficiaries and private plans offered through the marketplaces. states have also generally sought permission from hhs to charge premiums and add cost-sharing. some states have sought permission to produce traditional medicaid and if it's and some states have added wellness incentives. there are some pros and cons to these alternatives and we are going talk a lot about this today. among the pros first and foremost these alternatives are allowing states to break through political barriers they have faced and expand their medicaid programs. depending on the approach and i'm really preferring to the private -- to the premium assistance approaches these approaches have the potential to reduce churn whe

and so where we started was to make the case with the michigan medicaid program t the michigan medicaid program is, was and is affected and the fundamentals are sound and a lot of ways, near the front of the line in terms of how medicaid programs operate. this is the counter of the commonly held notion in some segments that the medicaid program is broken and all your doing is putting more people into a broken system and is a false promise because you can't get services so we really set out to get the story straight in terms of michigan and the fact we have david to counter those concerns and we can show we have access and quality in the program. as you can imagine the conversation is into linear conversation so there is a tension to understates and what was going on nationally and what might michigan do differently as we were making the case at least we were starting from of a good place and we would get comments like why not do what florida is doing and privatize the program? actually we did that in 1997, 17 years ago we privatize the michigan medicaid program in case you weren't payin

michigan has a healthier behavior incentive, iowa does, too, and pennsylvania is also proposing a set of healthier behavior incentives actually tied to having premiums waived in subsequent years, and there is -- if you read through the waiver applications and the approval from cms, there is a considerable amount of oversight and attention to those incentives and how they'll be evaluated. so i thought maybe we could discuss that oversaying within the context of those provisions. >> our experience has been fairly intense level of engagement and navigation with the cms officials. i wouldn't say there's that much direction but they clearly have concrete boundaries they want to protect in terms of the basic benefit offered through medicaid, the basic protections afforded to individuals, and the income gradient they recognize at lower levels, individuals cannot participate in the same way as someone that has more fluid set of assets. having said that the bigger issue on many of these new additions are operationally, how are you going to make it work? that's where -- it's not necessarily ove

through its healthy michigan program. we are glad you came to share with us. >> thank you. i wondered how he was going to introduce a career bureaucrat. very kind. i'm pleased to be here to share with you some of the high points of the process to pass the legislation. the michigan political environment both house and send it -- house and senate is republican, the governor is a republican. where we started was to make the case the michigan medicaid program was and is effective and the fundamentals are sound and in a lot of ways, we are near the front of the line in terms of how medicaid programs operate. this is to counter what was the somenly held notion in segments that the medicaid program is broken and all you are doing is putting more people into a broken system and it's a false promise because it's a card and you can get services. get the story straight. access andly have quality in the program. the conversation is not exactly a linear conversation, so there's lots of attention to other states. dot might michigan dif

senate in michigan or the democrat running against rick snyder in michigan those democrats would probably benefit as well from being on the ballot alongside that very popular minimum wage rise, which would probably drive up democratic voter turnout. and so, the republicans in michigan knowing these signatures were coming in yesterday, knowing the thing was going to qualify for the ballot and that was going to be terrible for them, the republicans in michigan figured out their trick play. and it was basically a pre-emptive strike. by passing their own new lower minimum wage legislation this week, republicans pre-empted the ballot measure. look, the main objective of republicans in the legislature was to keep the $10.10 wage measure off the november ballot and kill the petition drive. that measure could have brought to the polls democrats who support the wage measure in large numbers. so yes, michigan republicans did pass a rise in the minimum wage this week and they are the only republican-controlled state anywhere in the country to do that. but they only did it to stop a larger and more p

a background check revealed that rebecca hughesman was murdered in lansing, michigan six years earlier and the case had never been solved. coincidentally, planten was a student at michigan state university at the time which was just a few miles from lansing. rebeck that hughesman was working as a topless dancer at the time of her murder. it was something she had not planned on but she needed the money. >> she was a very beautiful young woman and trying to make some extra money so she and her fiance could get married. >> after rebecca was finished work one october night in 1999 a bouncer took her to her car and she drove away. as she drove up to her apartment, someone, possibly a customer from the strip club, may have made an advance. whatever happened, the killer fired with a .45 caliber handgun. >> i need an ambulance. >> what is the problem there? >> my girlfriend. i just woke up and i noticed she wasn't with me. so i go out there and she's out in her car and her door's open and i go out there and she has blood all over her face and i can't hear a pulse or a heart beat or nothing. >>

councilliers in michigan. a judge rules that he can't be on the ballot. then late today, another judge rules, you know what? he can be on the ballot. a big deal for one of the longest serving members of congress. >> in fact, i think the most interesting thing here is there is evidence of actually political sabotage. the man that conyers hired to get the signatures to get on the ballot initially actually has ties to his primary opponent, another democrat. and so we are looking into that story very quickly. you don't see this happen directly very often. but it is certainly an interesting one for conniers. >> quickly, michigan, steve, is interesting in and of itself. >> it is. the senate race is going to be very interesting in michigan there was a report in the "the washington post" today that this was going to be a battle about climate change that the democrat in the race, peters, was going to try to take it to terry lynn land, his challenger on the issue of climate change. i think that's a huge risk. michigan has seen union population diminish still enough

furthermore, the states that a pushing it, michigan comes to mind. we will be phased and what about the fact of the matter is michigan as about a seven and a half% unemployment rate. and this road and set about 15%, not the perfect venue. back with rick and share it and ashley. a smart move? >> i don't think so. while i agree with you, it should be looked at. this is not the tate to be trying to send. detroit is gone bankrupt. this is a job killer. legislators did this out of fear of a petition where there were positioning for $10.10 an hour. when you like it that, out of fear of more jobs being lost that pass this knowing that jobs will be lost as a result. and the look of a child shall we lost small-business is a feeling the pressure. neil: jerry. >> i keep thinking back to those images of jeff daniels pitching michigan as a place to come. now or cross you even more. i think it's a problem. it is a compromise, but it's a tax,an additional cost to do business, and it's probably poor timing. neil: i can see it the economic wind was up their back, wha

the skills you have learned here at michigan, critical thinking, problem-solving, communications, analysis, and teamwork, they are just as essential today as they were 30 years ago. these skills are just the start of what you need for success in today's challenging and fast-paced world. they are the price of admission to today's fast-paced ever-changing economy. to make a difference, you will also need the kind of skills and qualities that most of us learn from experience over time. allow me to offer you a half a dozen lessons i have learned since my graduation. lessons that have been important to me and hopefully will be valuable to you. first, no matter what you choose to do in life, pursue it with passion and hard work. in my experience, there are lots of talented people out there. talent alone is not enough. you need something more. one thing that distinguishes those who really make a difference in life is passion and hard work. hard work beats talent if talent does not work hard. do not wait to be invited to important meetings or asked to work on crucial assignments. do what it takes

michigan congressman thaddeus mccotter served ten years in congress, but then it was over. well, today another very different michigan congressman learned that his career may be ending in the same why. he, too, has been deemed ineligible for his own seat because of the discovery or at least the allegation that his petition signatures to get on the ballot are invalid. except this time it's not some anonymous back bencher, this time it's john conyers, one of the longest serving members of congress ever. he was first selected to the house from the detroit area in 1964. he's a fixture of democratic politics in the house, and there's no question as to his re-election chances in november. but of the roughly 2,000 signatures that conyers submitted, the wayne county clerk determined and declared today that only 592 of those signatures was valid. the county said most of the signatures were collected by people who were not themselves registered to vote in michigan which means that everything those people sent in is invalid. and so john conyers, as of now, will not be on the ballot. t

what does michigan stand to lose if somebody else becomes the freshman congressman from michigan. >> they lose a lot of seniority. it wouldn't make much difference at the moment, only because the republicans of the majority party in the house of representatives, the democrats don't have a lot of pure. if they regained control, he would be a senior committee chairman and wield a lot of power. as it is right now, he wields a lot of influence. there's another congressman from the same area of michigan, the detroit area, john dingell who is the longest serving member of congress. he is retiring. if both dingell and conyers is not able to run for reelection, michigan will lose a lot of clout. >> isn't there an argument that because he actually made a take and yet he wants them to put him on the ballot, does he deserve that? >> he did make a mistake. his petition gatherers were not all registered voters, a lot of people would argue why does a petition gatherer have to be a registered voter? the people signing should be registered. the people gathering the petitions, the state of michigan c
