Michigan hospitals continue to admit patients specifically for COVID-19.

Many across the state say they are forced to turn away patients because they don't have enough beds.

A group of state lawmakers have introduced a plan to help.

The package of bills being considered include money for:

-recruiting and keeping healthcare employees

-antibody treatments for the most at-risk patients

Lawmakers say they are confident the billion-dollar legislation will pass and the governor will sign it.
