The Cost of Gridlock: Minnesota's Creeping Health Care Crisis

with Jan Malcolm, CEO of Courage Center

Though Minnesota has a tradition of working collaboratively across party lines and in innovative public/private partnerships, the current state of division in Minnesota health policy is alarming. Bipartisan reforms in 2008 embraced the goals of expanding access, controlling cost, and improving quality. Unfortunately the way forward in practical terms is not at all clear today and Minnesota is now at risk of moving backward from our historical national leadership role.The latest version of a Governor’s Health Reform Task Force is now at work. Will it be able to bridge these divides and help us avoid the cost of further policy inaction?
