Community News: Sound off: House Republicans Relaunch MNsure Comment Website
House Republicans Relaunch MNsure Comment Website
Request Feedback from Minnesotans Affected By High Health Care Costs, Capped Plans, Technical Difficulties or Other Problems Related to Health Care Exchange
SAINT PAUL, MN— With open enrollment beginning November 1, House Republicans are relaunching a website to gather comments and feedback from Minnesotans experiencing issues with MNsure. Examples of difficulties Minnesotans may share include concerns over skyrocketing health care costs, limited access to plans because of new enrollment caps, long wait times or other technical problems related to the website or call center.
“As Minnesota families face a health care crisis with another round of double-digit premium increases and fewer choices than ever on the individual market, we want to hear from the people affected as we work to implement meaningful solutions,” said Representative Sarah Anderson, R-Plymouth. “MNsure must be held accountable to those it serves, and when Minnesotans share their stories, legislators are able to better understand the impact our health care exchange and the Affordable Care Act has on Minnesotans. House Republicans are committed to expanding choice, lowering costs and helping families keep their doctor, and welcome input from people across the state.”
House Republicans have put forth a number of solutions to address our state’s health care crisis including cutting the MNsure tax by half to save Minnesotans $22 million and working to secure a federal waiver to allow access to tax credits off the MNsure exchange.
The MNsure comment website can be found at http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/cmte/comment and is also linked on the House State Government Finance Committeepage. Minnesotans are encouraged to share their personal experiences with MNsure on the website.

Rep. Anderson is the state representative for House District 44A, which includes Plymouth.
