Talking Health Reform in Eagan

Talking Health Reform in Eagan Rep. Lewis discusses his work in the House to make health care more accessible for Minnesotans with Blue Cross Blue Shield employees in Eagan Dear Friend, I wanted to let you know that I recently visited Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) in Eagan. It was great to be back in the city and see everyone gearing up for Fall. As you may know, our state is waiting on the Department of Health and Human Services’ final decision on Minnesota’s waiver for the Premium Support Program. Recently, I joined all my Minnesota colleagues in the House and Senate- Republican and Democrat- in supporting this waiver. We called on Health Secretary Price to allow Minnesota the flexibility we need to maintain insurance coverage for families and their kids while tackling the large premium increases that have hit the individual market. Working alongside local employers- especially in the health care and insurance industries- I’ll keep pushing for the reforms we need to make sure that Minnesotans have access to quality, affordable health care. It was great participating in a roundtable at BCBS to discuss health care reform and the proposed reinsurance program for folks who have been hit hard by massive premium increases on the individual market. Real health care reform remains one of my top priorities to help families in Eagan.
