ST. PAUL, MN – The Minnesota Department of Commerce today
released the final 2018 insurance company rates for individual and small group health plans, in advance of the open enrollment period that begins on November 1. The following is a statement from Governor Mark Dayton.
“I urge all Minnesotans, who purchase their health insurance on this Individual Market, to shop on MNsure, during the Open Enrollment period starting November 1st, for the coverage that best fits their needs. MNsure remains the only way to use the federal cost-saving tax credits, which will save qualifying Minnesota families an average $7,650 next year.
“I remain strongly opposed the federal government’s proposed cuts to MinnesotaCare. I will continue to work with our Congressional Delegation to preserve its full federal funding.
“However, I want to reassure all Minnesotans, who are covered through MinnesotaCare, that their health insurance will not be disrupted in 2018. We have enough funding to pay fully for this program through next year.”
