Rev. Evan Heerema - Scripture: Psalm 8:1-2 Text: Psalm 8:1-2

This episode of The Common Bridge is part of a special 21‑part series of interviews recorded with healthcare leaders from across Michigan during the 2026 Mackinac Policy Conference, in partnership with the Michigan Health and Hospital AssociationHealthcare costs keep climbing, but the most frustrating part might be how much of the system's pain is self-inflicted. I sit down with Bill Manns, President and CEO of Bronson Healthcare Group in Kalamazoo and chair of the Michigan Health and Hospital Association board, to get specific about what's driving affordability concerns for Michigan hospitals and the people they serve.We talk about what independence really changes for a local health system: local governance, faster feedback from the community, and the freedom to focus on “local care for local people.” From there, we zoom out to the policy environment and why legislative volatility can be just as damaging as a bad bill. When the rules swing back and forth, hospitals cannot plan staffing, investments, or long-term community health work with confidence.Then we tackle the heart of the affordability debate. Bill makes the case that hospitals often do not “set prices” the way people assume, because rates are typically locked in through insurance contracts or driven by government payment. We also dig into the administrative burden that quietly inflates costs, especially prior authorization, where clinicians and patients jump through hoops for services that are frequently approved anyway. If we want real healthcare cost reduction, reducing unnecessary paperwork and delays is one of the most practical places to start.The most hopeful part of the conversation is Kalamazoo County's progress on Black infant mortality, achieved through community collaboration, listening to moms, and a clear focus on health equity and trust. If you care about Michigan healthcare, hospital regulation, prior authorization reform, preventive care, and community health outcomes, this one delivers.

Graham Richardson, CFO of Faraday Copper (TSX:FDY – OTCQX:CPPKF), joins me to provide a big picture overview of the key exploration and development objectives and shifting workstreams now that Faraday has entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the proposed acquisition of BHP's San Manuel Property, adjacent to their Copper Creek Project in Arizona.   This is truly a transformational transaction, which once closed, consolidates two adjacent and complementary assets in the heart of the Arizona copper corridor, at a time when sourcing of critical minerals within the USA is essential. We discuss how combining the historic open pit San Manuel Mine and robust Kalamazoo underground assets with Copper Creek Project's at-surface open pit breccias and underground porphyry assets at American Eagle and Keel creates a multi-asset copper district in the USA; and one of the largest undeveloped copper projects in North America.   Strategic Rationale Significant resource potential: The combined project would have the potential to become a multi-generational copper district delivering made-in-America copper. Accelerates pathway to production: Opportunity to leverage the private land position of San Manuel to facilitate the potential for expedited copper cathode production from the combined projects. Flexibility through private land and infrastructure: Additional ~27,000 acres of private land for site facilities and access to existing regional infrastructure, including road, rail, gas and power. Centralizes infrastructure and reduces environmental footprint: The proximity of Copper Creek and San Manuel allows for the potential to leverage existing infrastructure and for future facilities to be shared between the projects, reducing the overall environmental footprint while enhancing capital efficiency. The combined assets offer potential for project staging: Prioritization of copper cathode production, followed by open pit sulphides before development of underground operations. BHP to become a strategic shareholder: BHP to join the Lundin Group as a strategic shareholder of Faraday to deliver USA copper supply through a consolidated district.   Phase 4 drilling at Copper Creek will be factored into an updated copper Resource Estimate, which will be paired with upcoming confirmation drilling of the San Manuel historic resource.   This will set up a wrapping economics around the Phase 1 open pit development at both projects into a combined approach, and will be combined with other data-collection and metallurgical studies.  The Phase 1 open pits will then fund the eventual development into the underground resources at Kalamazoo, and eventually American Eagle and Keel.   The Company is well-funded to deliver on its key milestones and benefits from a growing management team and board of directors with senior mining company experience and expertise to deliver on the pathway from development into production.   If you have any questions for Graham regarding Faraday Copper, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Faraday Copper at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to view the latest news from Faraday Copper   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.
