North Dakota lawmakers and Gov. Jack Dalrymple should continue their opposition to establishing a state-run, online marketplace for insurance that's required by the new federal health care law, representatives of a group of conservative organizations said Monday.
Democratic state lawmakers plan to ask North Dakota's unemployment agency to reconsider its refusal to pay jobless benefits to about 400 American Crystal Sugar Co. employees.
Proposed health insurance changes required by the federal government may provide North Dakotans more benefit options, but the package's $83 million price tag will make it a difficult sell, lawmakers predicted Thursday.
