Under Keith’s leadership, the Attorney General’s office has taken on the powerful on behalf of Minnesotans, lowering costs for Minnesotans by reducing the cost of insulin to $35, fighting price-gouging by greedy corporations, tackling medical debt, and holding opioid companies accountable for the deadly opioid epidemic.

Source topic or question: Reduce health care premiums.

Candidate campaign source

Reduce premiums to deliver immediate cost relief and value for Minnesota families, small business owners, farmers, contractors, and others without employer coverage. Many Americans have not been able to afford their health insurance since the Trump administration let the premium tax credit expire. To limit increases in Minnesota, Klobuchar will direct the Minnesota Department of Commerce to weigh affordability as a factor in the rate review process and deny excessive hikes. She’ll also extend and strengthen Minnesota’s bipartisan reinsurance program, which for nearly a decade has helped Minnesotans who purchase their own insurance, by securing renewal of the waiver before it expires at the end of 2027.

As Governor, Amy Klobuchar will also take on the complicated and outdated systems that are driving up costs, making it difficult to access care, and creating opportunities for fraud. She will have zero tolerance for Medicaid fraud and will root it out and stop it before it starts. She’ll make it easier to access care by simplifying forms for billing, insurance, hospital assistance, and prior authorizations, and launch a “What’s it Cost?” tool to bring more transparency to the cost of medical care so families can compare the cost of procedures before they set foot in a clinic, helping lower premiums in the process. And she will work to rein in corporate health care costs by ensuring pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) pass along savings – no more hidden markups, and no more pocketing rebates that belong to consumers.
