 Erin Murphy, the DFL endorsed candidate for Minnesota governor, made a stop in Brainerd earlier today to unveil her health care plan. I want to open up Minnesota care for anybody who wants to buy in. I want to use a provision that I put into law in 2010 that allows us to contract directly with providers and move the health plans out of the middle of that equation because too many insurance companies now are using their powerful tools to deny people care and that's no good for us and it's no good for the people of Minnesota and as the next governor I want to make that stop. Murphy a registered nurse and state representative outlined her plan, which includes expanding Minnesota care, buying health care directly from providers, making needed medications affordable and moving towards a single pair health care system. It's a big job, but it's one that I know Minnesotans are up for and so am I. I have the head, the heart and the experience. It's time for us to put the care back in health care in Minnesota. We're going to lead the nation and show them how it's done. Murphy will travel the state over the next two days speaking to voters about her vision for Minnesota ahead of the August primary.
