About the Author

It is through my experience with our clients and that I decided to write this book. I have been, the Vice President of Health Partners Inc. for the past twelve years. Health Partners is a Michigan company which provides homecare nursing and attendant care services, and which specializes in serving brain and spinal cord injured patients. Many of our clients are automobile accident victims and our services are developed to accommodate each individual's unique needs. Our clients often require nursing care 24 hours per day everyday. Our clients often require very complex care, supplies, electric wheelchairs, home modifications, ramps, adapted vans, multiple doctors, therapies, hospital beds, and many other reasonably necessary services and medical equipment. In Michigan we have automobile insurance which provides unlimited medical benefits for injuries sustained in an automobile accident. We are the only state in America which has this benefit! I see the extraordinary needs that a person with a catastrophic injury presents and the level of care they need and can get through their Michigan no fault automobile insurance coverage and I realize it is truly a blessing for the patient and their families. I cringe when I meet people who have loved ones in other states injured in an automobile accident and they do not have this benefit. Their circumstance is crushing, neither the auto nor the health insurance provide coverage for this kind of in home nursing care, so as soon as you spend down your assets you can qualify for Medicaid, then you will discover the super-acute shortage of nursing personnel for Medicaid services, which are meager at best compared to your need. You could actually march to bankruptcy because of an accident and the saddest part is that hardly anyone is actively aware of this. Our Medicaid budgets are growing and breaking state budgets, I believe the Michigan Model for Automobile insurance if adopted in other states will provide millions of Americans wi
