Siding with Minnesota health insurers, Gov. Mark Dayton said Monday that the state won't follow President Barack Obama's lead and let people renew individual health insurance policies that don't comply with the federal Affordable Care Act.
The governor made his announcement in response to a letter Monday from Julie Brunner of the Minnesota Council of Health Plans, a trade group that argued that letting consumers maintain coverage likely would result in fewer young and healthy people buying coverage through MNsure, the state's new health insurance exchange.
The absence of those consumers, Brunner wrote, could drive up costs and reduce options on the exchange.
Dayton expressed support for Obama's idea last week but backed away from it Monday after hearing from local health plans.

I guess that whole..”If you like your plan you can keep it” deal was just a lie.
God forbid a company compete the big bad Fed for customers.
Free fall...
The socialists are being exposed to the fact that totalitarian policy simply cant adjust in the short term as quickly as a capitalist free market. Even though heavily regulated, the market that Obama is rapidly destroying with obamacare could more efficiently address the needs of consumers. If Obama had used his head instead of his totalitarian ego, he could have worked with the GOP and states to meet the needs of the underinsured while preserving the policies that 82% of all Americans were happy with prior to being destroyed by Obama and obamacare.
But these are socialists democrats we are talking about. Anything that interferes with socialist ideology and Kremlin style central planning can’t be permitted.
Sooner or later the SWHTF.
People will start fighting back.
Mark Dayton (D), governor of Minn.
