Michigan families should not have to fight an anonymous algorithm for medically necessary care. As Attorney General, Jason Dye will establish a Patient Protection and Corporate Accountability Initiative to investigate dangerous denial practices, expose hidden financial incentives, challenge health-care monopolies, scrutinize nonprofit hospitals, protect medical whistleblowers, and follow life-and-death decisions from the denial code to the people and policies behind it.

As Attorney General, I will use every lawful power of the office to expose health-care fraud, corporate deception, monopoly conduct, abusive hospital practices, unlawful denials, and the financial incentives behind them. Where current law is inadequate, I will put specific legislation before the people and the Legislature.

Michigan’s Attorney General already has civil enforcement responsibilities involving antitrust, consumer protection, and charitable trusts. The office’s Health Care Fraud Division investigates and prosecutes Medicaid provider fraud and abuse or neglect in residential care facilities. The Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS) regulates insurance and administers Michigan’s external-review process for eligible health-insurance denials. I will connect those existing lanes through a formal, interdivisional health-care accountability initiative.

A corporate title will not automatically establish criminal responsibility. But it will not erase responsibility where the evidence establishes knowing participation, reckless supervision, concealment, or intentional maintenance of a dangerous policy.

One denied claim can be explained away as an error. Hundreds of similar denials may reveal a business practice. My office will build the capacity to identify patterns involving repeated denials of the same treatment, fabricated or undisclosed coverage criteria, inaccurate provider directories, automatic denial systems, retaliation against physicians who appeal, delays that routinely exceed legal deadlines, post-denial alteration of records, financial targets connected to denial volume, and contractors used to conceal who actually made the decision. We will publish insurer-specific aggregate findings when legally permissible, while protecting patients’ private medical information.

The Attorney General’s existing corporate-oversight responsibilities include antitrust, consumer-protection, and charitable-trust enforcement, and Michigan’s Antitrust Reform Act provides investigative and enforcement mechanisms for restraints of trade. My office will aggressively examine hospital mergers that eliminate local competition, hospital systems buying independent practices and then raising prices, exclusive contracts that lock out lower-cost providers, pharmacy-benefit practices that conceal rebates and spreads, arrangements that steer patients toward corporate affiliates without disclosure, private-equity structures that extract money while cutting staffing, and agreements that prevent doctors and nurses from speaking honestly about patient safety.

A nonprofit hospital should not act like a charity when requesting tax advantages and like a collection agency when dealing with a patient who cannot pay. Using the Attorney General’s charitable-oversight authority, my office will scrutinize charity-care denials, collection lawsuits against low-income patients, property liens, facility fees, executive compensation, related-party transactions, transfers of money to parent organizations, hospital conversions and sales, and whether promised community investments were actually made. A hospital that receives charitable treatment must be able to demonstrate charitable conduct.

A final denial involving a serious risk to life or health must identify the responsible human reviewer, their license and specialty, the specific policy language relied upon, the clinical criteria applied, the medical evidence considered and any evidence excluded (and why), the role of any algorithm or vendor, and every person who directed, approved, or materially altered the determination.

The act will prohibit compensation structures that reward employees, contractors, medical directors, or executives for making wrongful denials or maintaining unlawful denial rates, and will require disclosure of performance measurements tied to medical-spending reductions, approval rates, appeal outcomes, treatment delays, and denial volume. Saving money through efficiency is legitimate. Saving money by knowingly blocking covered, medically necessary care is not.

Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, claims employees, data analysts, and contractors must be able to report dangerous practices without losing their jobs, contracts, licenses, or professional standing. The law will prohibit retaliation against people who disclose predetermined denial quotas, manipulated clinical criteria, false medical-record statements, algorithmic defects, concealed patient injuries or deaths, orders to destroy records, or corporate policies that place patients in foreseeable danger.

A fine that costs less than the money generated by unlawful conduct becomes a business expense. The act will authorize meaningful remedies: restitution; wrongful-death and survival damages; statutory and enhanced damages for knowing violations; attorney fees; disgorgement of savings or profits from unlawful denials; civil penalties for each affected patient and each day of unlawful delay; executive-compensation clawbacks where knowing participation is proven; suspension from public contracts; independent compliance monitoring; and license consequences for repeated or intentional misconduct.

The words “medical grade” should never be treated as a blank check. At the same time, cheaper does not automatically mean clinically interchangeable — sterility, calibration, biocompatibility, durability, traceability, electrical safety, accuracy, and failure rates can matter enormously. My plan is not to tell hospitals to substitute random consumer products for critical equipment. My plan is to find out what we are actually paying for.

When two products are genuinely equivalent for a defined use, public purchasers should not be forced to buy the one carrying the largest artificial markup. When they are not equivalent, the state should explain the safety difference in plain language. We will not gamble with implants, sterile invasive devices, diagnostic accuracy, or life-support systems — and we will not accept “medical grade” as the sole explanation for charging taxpayers ten, twenty, or fifty times more.

Federal hospital-price-transparency rules require hospitals to publish extensive pricing information, including machine-readable files, with updated requirements taking effect in 2026. The data exist, but they are often difficult for ordinary patients to compare. I will advocate for a Michigan True Medical Price Portal that lets the public search by procedure, location, hospital, insurer, and cash-pay status — showing cash prices, negotiated insurance prices, facility fees, professional fees, public-program benchmarks, typical regional prices, lower-cost nearby options, and whether required information is missing.

I am not promising to seize every private insurance company. I support creating a transparent, nonprofit public insurance option that competes alongside private plans — its surplus going toward patient care, lower premiums, reserves, or expanded benefits, not executive bonuses tied to denying treatment. Private insurers may continue operating. They will simply have to compete against an option that is not designed primarily to extract profit from illness. That is not an attack on choice. That is the creation of an actual choice.

Some products cost more because they meet legitimate safety, testing, sterilization, or regulatory requirements. We will identify those differences rather than accepting marketing language as proof.

We will expose the prices. We will follow the money. We will identify the decision-makers. We will test the supposed justifications. We will protect whistleblowers. We will break unlawful monopolies. We will prosecute fraud wherever the evidence leads. And when a knowing or reckless denial causes catastrophic injury or death, we will investigate it with the seriousness the loss of a human life demands.

Executive public-record methodology
An executive record will attach only from official orders, directives, vetoes, signed actions, legal filings, or direct official statements that explicitly attribute the action to this person. Agency outcomes and events during an administration are not inferred as personal actions.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
Michigan state-level totals are withheld until the MiTN disclosure system resolves this candidate to one exact committee and compatible reporting period. Name-only matches are not attached, multiple committees are not silently combined, and missing values are not zero.
