Minnesota republican state representative, and candidate-for-governor Matt Dean is introducing a bill to dismantle the MNsure state-run health insurance exchange — arguing most people using it are already on publicly-subsidized programs that are better handled by the counties

MNsure C-E-O Allison O’Toole says on this first day of open enrollment that she’s focused on getting as many Minnesotans as possible signed up and saving money

Dean says the state already spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a system that wasn’t necessary and didn’t work — and the Dayton administration wants to spend 200 million dollars more to try to fix it.
