OTHER INFORMATION

Right to Life of Michigan Fact Sheet: Where U.S. Senate Candidates Stand on Life (Comparison of Mike Rogers and Elissa Slotkin)

This candidate voted against H.R. 485, the Protecting Care for All Patients Act, which would prohibit federal health programs from using discriminatory measures known as Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs.) A vote against the bill is a position which would hasten death, since it indicates support for the reduction or elimination of care for people with various disabilities and chronic conditions.

Candidate's grade from The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML).
