USofCare Makes Push to Reform Minnesota’s Health Care System
US of Care has begun efforts to reform Minnesota’s health system. US of Care has convened Minnesota state legislators from both sides of the aisle for the past six months with the goal of helping them develop a state health policy agenda. Among the issues on the agenda are the need to stabilize the individual health insurance market, preserve funding for key health programs such as MinnesotaCare, and lay the foundation for longer-term reforms. US of Care is committed to supporting both their immediate legislative priorities and their strategic vision for a healthier Minnesota.
