Minnesota to prop up Obamacare insurers

Minnesota will give insurers up to $542 million for fiscal 2018 and 2019 to prop up Obamcare insurers amid questions over the stability of the law nationwide.

Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton told the Minnesota House speaker Monday that he has concerns about the funding but won’t veto the bill. The decision to prop up insurers comes as states are increasingly worried about the stability of the individual marketplace, which is for people who don’t get insurance through work and includes Obamacare’s exchanges.
