LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan’s elections board gave the go-ahead Monday for a petition drive seeking to limit what hospitals can charge uninsured and underinsured patients and auto accident victims.

The Stop Overcharging initiative, the form of which was approved by the Board of State Canvassers, would prohibit hospitals and health providers from charging more than 150 percent of the lowest amount they accept as payment in full from any payer. If organizers collect hundreds of thousands of valid voter signatures, their bill will go to the Legislature. If lawmakers reject it or ignore it, the legislation would get a statewide vote in 2016.
