Republicans have often criticize the individual mandate as an overreach of government that requires everyone to have healthcare regardless of whether or not they want it.
While long-term legislation is the task force’s issue, Dayton and legislative leaders also have discussed financially helping Minnesotans signing up for 2017 insurance now.
