(Feb. 11, 2021) \u2014 Sen.&nbsp;<strong>Sylvia Santana<\/strong>&nbsp;(D-Detroit) has issued the following statement regarding Gov. Gretchen Whitmer\u2019s Fiscal Year 2022 budget recommendation presented today, which includes a $6.7 million investment for a Sickle Cell Disease Initiative and $362 million in childcare support for families and providers:<br \/><br \/>\u201cSickle cell disease is one of the most common, inherited blood disorders in the world, but it historically has not received the attention and funding it deserves because it disproportionately affects Black people more than any other race. For far too long, Black men, women, and children have borne the brunt of the inequities in our health care system, often suffering and dying at higher rates because of a lack of access \u2014 or a distressing absence of \u2014 necessary funding to address these issues. I am glad the Governor is holding true to her commitment of reducing health care disparities in Michigan by funding the Sickle Cell Disease Initiative.\u201d<br \/><br \/>\u201cLike sickle cell disease, COVID-19 has disproportionately affected Black communities at much higher rates than their white counterparts, with many having lost their jobs and now finding themselves in debt with bills. If we are to reengage the economy and give those who need it most an opportunity to regain their financial bearings, we have to also expand access to childcare that people can afford. The governor\u2019s plan to increase the income eligibility threshold and invest $362 million into childcare options will go a long way toward providing hardworking Detroiters, and all Michiganders, with financial stability after this tumultuous year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LANSING, Mich.
