Wednesday that the Affordable Care Act is “no longer affordable” for many, a stinging critique from a state leader who strongly embraced the law and proudly proclaimed health reform was working in Minnesota just a few years ago....
....The state scrambled to stop all seven companies that sell insurance directly to consumers or through the state exchange, MNsure, from fleeing for 2017, but the state’s largest insurer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota, is still exiting.
Health care insurance shoppers will see premium increases that range from 50 percent to 67 percent on their plans for next year.

This is a DEMOCRAT Gov. who had strongly strongly embraced and supported the program, admitting that it is falling completely to pieces in MN.
This isn’t news, we all knew the system was set up to be unsustainable so the clarion call for single-payer can go out. Dayton is just playing his role.
This is the complete failure and collapse of Obama’s “signature” policy accomplishment (sic) and Shrillary must be made to bear the political burdens of this disaster.
The whole thing was so badly planned and designed, although of course many Democraps wanted it to fail as a stepping stone to “single payer”....
Guess Bubba gave these spineless democraps cover to start attacking OBarrysCare.
Sure, but to have it all hit the fan just weeks before the election is huge news now. You have to stop thinking only of what “insiders” know..... to many many tens of millions of Americans, the thing is supposed to be working and the realization now that it is all in free fall is going to be huge political shock in the coming weeks.
EITHER Trump uses this moment to stop the creeping socialism OR Shrillary and her cabal get elected and try to force through single payer.
Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn., “They just didn’t understand how we could save money on this by adding more people to the system, how it was going to impact them in terms of their premiums and their access to care.”
Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn., “The more people find out what’s in there, the happier they are.”
Wow! Im so impressed with the courage of this governor! Im definitely voting democrat!
Too late bitch. You own it and you secretly love it. And after the election you’ll go back to trying to screw and control us.
“Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. We wont get fooled again!”
Remember when the proponents of ObamaCare answered people who said "I like my insurance because I can afford it" by saying things like "your current insurance plan is a crap plan" and "you deserve better than the crap plan you're paying for now, ObamaCare will fix the gaps in your substandard insurance."
Oh great, I’m in this state. I’m going to take a guess here too that all the immigrants from Africa that have been sent here may be a major part of breaking the system. I see them there always in line for benefits, which includes Health Care. (On the side, when I go see my doctor guess who is filling the waiting room.)
Every week the Social Services room is full and I always think jeez when will they be done applying but I’m thinking there’s new people each week. It appears the insurance companies and MN can’t afford it any longer.
The folks that created this monster out to be taken out back to the woodshed.
I can only think of two things in which democrats have effectively delivered on what they’ve said; open borders/amnesty and complete immunity when killing babies.
Their “successes” are failures and their failures are failures.
What is happening in this country...can be placed in the hands of the Political elite....
Ruling elite's... have to stop!! Dims...Pub's!! Stop!!!
We the People aren't going to take it anymore!!!
He’s angling for HHS secretary in a new Clinton Admin.
Single-Payer for everyone
They spent years setting it up and the wheels are coming off after only a couple! Not to mention that the original website for enrolling was DOA.
Had they not given all the waivers and extensions it would have collapsed long ago.
Old “Crazy Eyes” Dayton finally gets it...
According to the reasoning of ObaMaoCare, these people are lucky and unsympathetic because they don't get the various health consequences associated with such behaviors, so they need to pay through the nose to subsidize those who do.
If you don't understand that concept, then you are a hater and it is off to the gulag for you!
