ND GOP leader rethinking options on health law
North Dakota's House Republican majority leader says the Legislature may take another look at whether the state should help run a new health insurance marketplace.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota's House Republican majority leader says the Legislature may take another look at whether the state should help run a new health insurance marketplace.
The health “exchanges” are a key part of the new federal health care law. Fargo Rep. Al Carlson says in the wake of last week's elections, the law isn't likely to be changed.
A year ago the Legislature turned down a proposal to have the state run its own health insurance exchange — instead of letting the federal government do it.
There's another option called a “state partnership exchange.” It would allow North Dakota officials to run some parts of the exchange. Carlson says that's a possibility.
North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple says the partnership is an option, but he wants more information about it.
