They call themselves 'militias,' but actual militias report to the governor in Michigan Armed civilian groups that rose to prominence by rejecting Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s authority last year view themselves as heirs to a long tradition of “well regulated” militias defending the country in times of crisis.

We have a look into that with MLive's Mark Torregrossa: READ IT HERE A bipartisan group of state House representatives on Wednesday introduced health care reforms that aim to cap costs on medications and improve transparency in the price-setting process. The 15-bill package would attempt to control prescription drug pricing through various methods, including capping co-pays on medications such as insulin, regulating the middlemen between health insurers and drug manufacturers and requiring more reporting on how hospitals, pharmacies and insurers set prices.
