ST. PAUL, Minn. — Healthcare insurance will be costlier for many Minnesotans unless Congress extends a key insurance subsidy. Grace Arnold, state commerce commissioner, said that 19,500 people would lose all financial assistance if insurance credits under the 2010 Obamacare law are allowed to expire. These credits reduce insurance costs for households earning less than four times the poverty line. Roughly 62% of MnSure enrollees would see higher healthcare costs, more than many can afford. Arnold said. The Obamacare credits are set to expire in December under a Trump federal budget moving through Congress.
Arnold. These days she’s grim on MnSure prospects.
