Healthcare Choice Bill Vetoed

(Bismarck, ND) — Governor Doug Burgum is vetoing a bill that would have provided more choices in healthcare. Burgum vetoed the bill late last week, which sponsor say would have prevented health insurers from excluding some healthcare providers. Burgum says more than 13-thousand North Dakotans would see an increase in healthcare costs if the bill became law. The bill now heads back to the House for reconsideration.
