Working in Coalition
PNHP Minnesota, in partnership with MNA (Minnesota Nurses Association), SEIU Healthcare (Service Employees International Union), and HCAMn (Health Care for All Minnesota), is leading the effort to pave the way for legislation in 2015-2016, with a growing list of organizations at the table.
A research and legislative sub-committee is working on how best to be ready to apply for the ACA’s innovation waiver 1332 on January 1st 2017, which allows states to implement their own health plan as as as long as it offers no less coverage than the ACA, and does not cost the federal government more. We are part of this effort, as well as the coalition’s outreach and education effort.
