About GHP and the Health Care Services Millage
 

Founded in 2001, the Genesee Health Plan covers doctor visits, mental health counseling, prescription drugs, labs, mammograms, cancer screenings and treatment, and dental care — delivering routine care and peace of mind for our friends, neighbors, veterans, and seniors when they need it most. 

Genesee Health Plan uses the Health Care Services Millage to provide basic, affordable health care coverage for Genesee County residents who don’t qualify for Medicaid but can’t afford private insurance, those employed without employer-sponsored coverage, and those between jobs. Genesee Health Plan also serves as a coverage bridge during common life transitions-including when a young adult ages off a parent's plan at 26, and when a worker in their 50s or early 60s loses a job with years remaining before Medicare eligibility.

Genesee County voters have approved the Health Care Services Millage three times-in 2006, 2012, and 2018 to ensure Genesee County adults, veterans, and seniors have affordable, high-quality health care coverage through Genesee Health Plan. The Health Care Services Millage is a renewal of an existing millage-not a new tax.​
 

On Tuesday, November 3, Genesee County voters will have the opportunity to renew the “Health Care Services Millage.”  Renewing the millage means that Genesee Health Plan, along with local organizations, partners and providers, can continue to provide these life-saving services to the residents of Genesee County.
