Minnesota’s ObamaCare Exchange Is Really Bad. You’ll Be Shocked By What This Independent Report Just Recommended To “Fix” It

ObamaCare’s health exchanges are pretty bad. Minnesota’s is even worse. Only 28,000 Minnesotans have enrolled in private plans through MNsure, not even half of their goal to reach 70,000 by the middle of March. The system is still plagued by ling wait times for call-ins and software glitches online.

Optum, a subsidiary of Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group, just released a new analysis MNsure’s management structure, and found that the agency is routinely in “crisis mode.”

According to the analysis, MNsure’s flaws are so bad that the state should consider scrapping the system altogether and starting over.

Just like HealthCare.gov, this is what happens when Big Government is put in charge of coordinating Americans’ health care. Incompetence.

From MPR News:

An independent consultant has issued a damning report of the state’s troubled online insurance marketplace.

MNsure’s management structure is “non-existent” according to Optum, a subsidiary of Minnetonka-based UnitedHealth Group, which recently performed a week-long analysis of the more than $100 million website.

MNsure executives have been making decisions in a “crisis mode,” the report states.

MNsure’s board members called for the end-to-end review after the website continued to experience major technological issues three months after it launched.

The report found the agency’s ambitious enrollment goals will suffer as a result.

“While MNsure will fall short of achieving its original enrollment goals and consumer satisfaction levels, continuous improvements can be made in both the short-term and long-term,” the report states.

Those problems, however, won’t be fixed quickly and the state should consider scrapping the system altogether and starting over, the report said.
