Terms Used In Michigan Laws 333.2471
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- state: when applied to the different parts of the United States, shall be construed to extend to and include the District of Columbia and the several territories belonging to the United States; and the words "United States" shall be construed to include the district and territories. See Michigan Laws 8.3o
(b) To assure the availability, accessibility, and acceptability of required health services for the people of this state.

(d) To assure that state reimbursement for reasonable and allowable costs for required and allowable local health services shall be provided at the level necessary to assure maintenance of the services on an equitable basis for the people of this state.
