Yes, I shopped extensively, but in Minnesota there are only 2 Insurance companies that dominate the coverage - mostly Blue Cross. Competition is lacking. The Self employed, like myself, are hurt the most. The Insurance Companies are abusing the Obamacare requirements for their self enrichment. The following article somewhat describes these issues. mnfarmliving.com The articles bottom line: 'So why not purchase another insurance product? Because we don’t have choices. Where I live, I have two options. There is no competition. No choice other than increase my deductibles significantly. And this is a choice?' And: 'ALL LEGISLATORS need to [should be required to] follow the same health insurance programs they imposed on their constituents. No opting out! (There is a reason this is number one on my list.)'
