More Insurance Options for Rural Citizens
Expanded health care choices are coming to Minnesota families, especially ones in rural counties such as Pine, thanks to Representative Jason Rarick.
Rarick, who stands for Pine City at the state level, announced that after four years of increases, rising costs would be reversed.
Citizens now will have access to more than one healthcare provider within their current plans.
Rarick said: “Those who are looking for health insurance on the individual market will be pleased to know that they won’t face skyrocketing premium increases as they have in previous years.”
Rarick has represented portions of Pine and Kanabec Counties since his election in 2014.

An upcoming meeting in Rock Creek will determine whether or not a new sanitation business can operate locally.
