ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Minnesota's top health insurance regulator says the state's individual market is in "an emergency situation" amid big rate increases for next year.
Department of Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman said Friday that the five companies offering plans through the state's exchange or directly to consumers were prepared to leave the market for 2017. He said big rate increases were the tradeoff to convince all but one company to remain for now.
Rate increases finalized this week range from a 50 percent average hike for HealthPartners plans to a 67 percent jump on average on UCare.
But Rothman called it a temporary fix and called on lawmakers to make reforms before the market collapses.
His words will embolden Republicans who have called President Barack Obama's health care law a disaster in Minnesota.
