 Minnesota lawmakers are closing in on a relief package to help more than 100,000 Minnesota residents cover health insurance costs. Legislative leaders finalized a compromise bill Wednesday that would help offset the 50% to 67% premium hikes on the individual market this year. The support is only available to shoppers who don't get federal subsidies. Governor Mark Dayton has indicated he'd sign the bill once it's passed in the House and Senate Thursday. That would allow insurance plans to start reducing premiums by 25% in April. It's a resolution to a debate that has stretched for months. Minnesota Management and Budget Commissioner Myron Franz says the state will launch an awareness campaign to let residents know that help is on the way. Open enrollment ends January 31st.
