St. Paul, MN—Wednesday, the MNsure Board held their first public meeting in more than a month, just one day after the exchange's largest commercial insurer announced their decision to withdraw from MNsure. House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, issued the following statement following the meeting:
"Board members appointed by Governor Dayton revealed today that enrollment estimates were inflated by 15 percent, raising serious questions about MNsure's credibility and the organization's financial viability moving forward. Worse, the board neglected to discuss in any meaningful way the impacts of the largest commercial insurer's decision to withdraw from the exchange and how that will impact Minnesota families.
"With MNsure in crisis mode and nearly 30,000 Minnesotans facing the prospect of paying more or being forced to find new plans, Governor Dayton and Democrats continue to refuse to accept responsibility for, or do anything to help fix the mess they created by putting Minnesota all-in on Obamacare."
