The MN Health Plan (MnHP) would be a single, statewide plan that would cover all Minnesotans for all their medical needs. There is an intolerably high proportion of our fellow Minnesotans that suffer from lack of care. To alleviate the suffering, we must build a viable health care system that efficiently delivers comprehensive health care to everyone. Let’s work together to pass the Minnesota Health Act!
