The Minnesota Department of Commerce announced on Monday that MNsure rates for 2020 are going down or remaining flat. Following the release, Senator Dan Hall (R-Burnsville), released the following statement:

“This week’s rate announcement is welcome news for Minnesotans who purchase their health insurance through our state’s individual marketplace. After years of rapidly increasing rates, the market has finally stabilized. This is thanks to the Republican-led reforms, such as our reinsurance program. The reinsurance program was designed to stabilize the individual market after years of double-digit premium increases and has proved effective. As a result, rates have gone down for consecutive years, and now every county will have at least two options. Compare that to where we were before Republicans took the majority in the Senate, and you will see a stark contrast.”

“However, our work is not complete, and we still need additional solutions to the problems created by Obamacare and MNsure. As we head into the next session, I will continue to work hard for solutions that provide Minnesotans the best health care possible at the lowest possible cost.”
