Minnesota’s new health laws: We’ve got answers to your questions
It was a big session for health legislation at the Minnesota Capitol.
Lawmakers expanded the Medicaid insurance program in February and met a federal deadline in March to pass legislation for a health insurance exchange.
As the session drew to a close, legislators passed a bill that spells out rules for how the current health insurance market can continue once the exchange gets rolling. And a bill signed by Gov. Mark Dayton on Thursday outlines the future for MinnesotaCare, a state health insurance program for lower-income families.
