United States Congressman Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, was in Clarkston on Aug. 4 speaking to constituents about local issues.
Rogers and his committee were on a bus trip traveling through his district and made their stop at the Independence Township offices on Main Street after visiting the Village of Lake Orion.
The first issue brought to his attention was an article in The Oakland Press regarding the big three automakers and their potential ‘snub? in Washington D.C.
‘I’m not sure there is a conspiracy,? Rogers said during the informal gathering.
‘We’re just going through this transition with the big three’and we’re just getting pummeled,? Rogers said of the unemployment rate.
Dr. James O’Neill, of Clarkston, brought up a discussion on health care issues with the congressman. Rogers spoke in regards to Health Savings Accounts legislation.
Rogers described the plan as health care coverage where users carry a card and make the direct payments for medical services on their own.
‘It’s been a great way to provide quality health insurance to everyone, everywhere,? Rogers said.
‘That’s going to change the world of medicine,? O’Neill said after the meeting in favor of the push to get the program in Michigan. ‘He’s really onto a lot of cutting edge things in medicine.?
