During the visits, Barrett met with health care professionals and the road crew and discussed his work to lower health care costs, invest in mid-Michigan infrastructure, and deliver tax relief to hardworking Michiganders.\n\n\u201cWhether treating patients or paving our roads, Michigan\u2019s health care professionals and skilled workers keep our communities running every day,\u201d said Barrett. \u201cThat\u2019s why I was proud to deliver no tax on overtime for construction workers, and it\u2019s why I\u2019m proud to advocate for policies that will make health care more affordable, invest in our infrastructure, and more. It was valuable to hear directly from those on the front lines about the challenges they face and what issues matter most to them. I\u2019m committed to fighting to strengthen our workforce and put more money back into the pockets of working families.\u201d\n\nDuring his Monday visit to UM Health-Sparrow, Barrett toured the facility and met with hospital leadership and staff to discuss the importance of ensuring Michigan families have access to high-quality health care and supporting the professionals who provide it.
