As best I can tell, that risk has only been studied in people who were admitted to the hospital with chest pain and actually had a heart attack. If they stopped statins after being discharged, their risk of a second heart attack was much greater. And also, yeah, the statin I'm taking was not represented in the study in statistically-useful numbers.

MNSure is actually fine now except that it is obviously understaffed and underfunded. I don't see any particular reason to blame MNSure rather than HealthPartners for the mix-up about Medical Assistance. MNSure's information about my plan has always been correct.

I might be more upset except that I am well aware that this could be the last year that I will have any health insurance at all.
