LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan lawmakers continued votes Wednesday to potentially eliminate retiree health care coverage for future and some current members of the state Legislature.

The Senate plan is different than a version passed by the state House earlier this year.

The vast majority of current lawmakers would not become eligible for the benefits under that plan.
