LSP Meeting on New Healthcare Options Tuesday, September 10 in Granite Falls The Land Stewardship Project (LSP) will hold a meeting to inform the public about the new MNsure health insurance exchange on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at Granite Falls Senior. The meeting will run from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and is open to the public. For the past three years, LSP has been working with allies to make sure Minnesota puts people before insurance company profits when it comes to implementing healthcare reform in the state. “That is because we believe access to affordable care for everyone—including farmers, rural and urban people—is critical to stewardship of the land and thriving rural communities,” said Sobocinski, an LSP organizer and southwest Minnesota farmer. Minnesota is currently in the process of rolling out new healthcare programs. The September 10 meeting is intended to help people get a better understanding of the health insurance options in MNsure, including Medicaid, MinnesotaCare, the health insurance marketplace and premium subsidies. The presentations will focus on options and opportunities available to individuals and families for getting better, more affordable health insurance. LSP staff will also touch on the implications for small businesses. “Here in Minnesota we helped create one of the most people-centered exchanges in the country,” said Sobocinski. “Now it is up to all of us to make the best use of our new public programs so we can keep building towards healthcare that’s controlled by and for people, not corporate profits.” For more information, contact LSP’s Paul Sobocinski at 507-342-2323.
