Mike Rothman — the state insurance commissioner — released rates for individual health plans available through the exchange opening for enrollment this fall under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Monthly premiums start as low as $90.59 for a 25-year-old nonsmoker living in the Twin Cities.
Because of the state's rate review process, premiums for plans offered through the exchange range from 4 percent to 37 percent lower than the rates insurers originally filed, according to a news release. Mr. Rothman approved rates for a total of 141 plans, with individual coverage policies accounting for 78 of those plans.
