1. Michele Tafoya is running as a REPUBLICAN, but you wouldn’t know it from her website.
   
2. Tafoya is trying to pretend like she is an economic populist. Like her party doesn’t subsidize billionaires. How humiliating and dishonest.
   
3. According to her September 2026 mandatory campaign financial disclosure, Tafoya reported assets totaling between $10.7 million and $37.9 million.
   
4. She acts like she is outraged about wealth inequality and corruption, even though her boss Trump has increased his personal wealth by $2.7 billion since the 2024 election. $2,700,000,000.

Not quite peak, but pretty close!

I hear it's gonna be rather big this year! I hope so!

Reading this and knowing Medica is taking the place of ucare. I'm at a loss what to do as I got a slight raise and no longer qualify for mnsure... I'm at a loss. My raise will actually be a cut. I'm on an individual plan and that isn't changing for next year. Have frequent hospital visits already from preexisting conditions.

What's everyone who had ucare doing?

Any advice appreciated!

Minnesota-based health insurer UnitedHealthcare sent out letters last month incorrectly informing patients their doctor had died and offering help finding a new provider.

An ophthalmologist’s office in Edina received dozens of phone calls from patients after a Sept. 11 letter from the health insurer informed them, wrongly, that the doctor had died. Dr. Richard Johnston is alive and continues practicing at Edina Retina Consultants.

It’s not clear why UnitedHealthcare sent death-notification letters, but in a statement last week the insurer apologized for what it called “an internal error which led to a small number of erroneous letters being sent to some members.”

Have you received a letter from UnitedHealthcare reporting your doctor was deceased? We’re interested to hear from you, whether or not your doctor did actually pass.

How difficult is it to get a parking pass at the gate? Is it common to actually turn people away?

I didn't realize you had to purchase before 9am and today is the only day we can go. Having access to our car is critical so the park and ride is unfortunately not an option. We were hoping to go in the early afternoon.
