Minnesota's health insurance premium hike is fourth-highest in nation

Minnesota's 59 percent premium increases on its individual health insurance market have been shocking consumers and politicians alike, but they're not even the highest in the country.

New figures released Monday show an average premium increase of 25 percent in the 39 states using the federal HealthCare.gov insurance exchange. Minnesota uses a state-run exchange, MNsure. Among the 43 states with available data, Minnesota has the fourth-highest premium increase, behind Tennessee, Oklahoma and the 116 percent increase in Arizona. All three states use HealthCare.gov.
