Minnesota families to save on health insurance as Biden administration closes 'family glitch'

Tens of thousands of Minnesotans who spend a large portion of their income on health insurance - or haven't been able to afford coverage at all - will qualify for federal help next year, following a long-awaited change to the Affordable Care Act.

Estimates are that across the country more than 5 million people are caught in the ACA's so-called "family glitch," which President Joe Biden announced Tuesday his administration will fix.

"Under the current rules, a working mom is told as long as she can afford employer-based coverage for herself, she can't qualify for premium subsidies to afford coverage for her family. Cover her, but not her family. But we're going to change that," Biden said at a White House event where he also signed an executive order directing federal agencies to continue work on improving health care access, coverage and benefits.
