GOP's Attempt To End MNsure Fails In Senate

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- An attempt to dismantle the Minnesota health insurance exchange failed to get enough votes at the State Capitol Friday.

The Democratic-led Minnesota Senate defeated the attempt by Republicans to get rid of MNsure via a budget bill.

That bill would make some changes to the insurance marketplace, which has seen its share of problems.

One would turn MNsure into a state agency instead of continuing to operate as a mostly-independent entity.
