Encouraging signs in the race to develop a COVID-19 vaccine have Minnesota health officials planning for some tough decisions ahead when the demand for shots far outpaces the limited initial supply.

An old debate over the federal government's role in the farm economy - a topic that produces odd alliances in Washington but that most politicians prefer to avoid - is flaring anew in the race between Minnesota U.S. Sen. Tina Smith and her challenger, former U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis. Smith's campaign unearthed old TV footage of Lewis questioning government crop subsidies and declaring, "Government shouldn't have anything to do with farming." "We have glamorized a certain industry, as valuable as...
Democratic senators say Joe Biden shouldn’t be afraid to debate President Trump in the fall, countering other party figures floating the idea that he should skip the debates given his polling advantage and not risk giving Trump a lifeline. “We’ve had presidential debates for a long time now, and it’s been a way for a lot of people around the nation to be able to see the candidates in action,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who is thought to be on Biden’s shortlist of potential running mates. “I know that Joe Biden will show who he i...

ST. PAUL, Minn. —Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF) says a new proposed federal regulation from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) goes the wrong way, classifying Direct Primary Care (DPC) and Healthcare Sharing Ministries as “insurance.” This change in classification could significantly undermine the roughly 1,200 private medical practices nationwide from the independent practice of medicine, and the million-some members of healthcare sharing organizations. “The practice of medicine, whether paid for with a monthly fee or a per-visit...
