HEALTH POLICY

Addressing the cost and quality of health care will improve access to affordable health care for all Minnesotans. The business community supports initiatives that create a functioning, responsive health care marketplace that achieves better health outcomes, reduces the cost of health care, and reduces the rate of future cost increases.

In 2008, a significant health care reform bill passed that addressed many of our recommendations. The reforms will take several years to implement, but we urge expediency as a way to control costs.

2012 Legislative Priorities

We will seek to develop and implement a Minnesota-based insurance exchange.

We will advance a policy for reviewing current and proposed mandates.
