Today, Senate Republicans passed the 2017 Emergency Health Care Aid and Access Act with bipartisan support, winning the votes of two thirds of the Senate. The bill represents a compromise with Governor Dayton, who accepted several Republican ideas for reform, and promised to sign it into law.

The bill is a major accomplishment after years of gridlock on health reform, but Republicans are quick to point out that it’s just a first step toward stabilizing the individual insurance market. More reforms are expected.
