Description

About 158,000 Minnesotans are looking for new options for Medicare now that the local company UCare is dropping their Medicare Advantage plan. The insurance company isn’t the only one to no longer offer Medicare Advantage— it's not as financially beneficial as it once was.


Enrollment opened last week, and this shift is causing people to scramble for new affordable options for medical insurance.


Kelli Jo Greiner is a health care policy analyst for the Minnesota Board on Aging and the Minnesota Department of Human Services. She joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to explain coverage options.
