Fixing Minnesota's health insurance woes requires firm grasp of facts
It's a question that every Minnesota legislative candidate should be asked between now and Election Day: What can be done to fix Minnesota's haywire individual health insurance market and bring relief to consumers facing staggering coverage costs?The state Commerce Department recently announced that consumers who buy health insurance on their own will face average rate increases of 50 to 67 percent for 2017.While just 5 percent of Minnesotans buy health insurance on their own instead of getting it through their jobs or public programs such as Medicare, some people simply won't be able to afford health insurance.

Study finds small Kentucky employers don't provide health insurance
A study commissioned by the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky revealed that most of the state's small employers don't offer health insurance.In 2015, 98% of Kentucky businesses with 50 or more employees offered health insurance.The rate is about the same as in 2012.In contrast, only 27% of small businesses with less than 50 employees provided the same benefit to their employees.The rate was a sharp drop from the 36% recorded in 2012.The report noted that this reflects a long term decline in employers providing health insurance."That drop of nearly 10 percentage points means that thousands fewer Kentucky small businesses offered health insurance to their workers in 2015," Ben Chandler, president and chief executive of the foundation told reporters.
