Minnesota Care is ...Thanks for covering this issue.<br />Minnesota Care is community rated, I believe, so that premiums do not go up with age. It would be interesting to see if a plan like this can co-exist with private insurance.<br /><br />Personally I faVor a Medicare buy-in for the other states that do not and will never have a Minnesota Care program.<br /><br />But any buy-in must decide how to set the buy-in premium, and what happens if the plans lose money at the buy-in premium. I assume that government must be the reserve, and that is fine, but the potential for taxpayer involvement must be discussed.bob.hertzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09686373408419885558noreply@blogger.com
