B&A conducted eight focus groups in three cities in Minnesota in November 2007 with small employers and brokers. The purpose was to gain feedback on state reform proposals related to an individual insurance mandate, the concept of a health insurance exchange, and a mandate for small business owners to offer Section 125 plans to their employees. The results from the focus studies were provided in a report to MDH which was used as background to 2008 legislation. The report is shown on the ‘Reports’ tab on this site.
