MNsure forum via Twitter set for Monday
Minnesota's upcoming online insurance marketplace will be holding a different kind of town hall forum on Monday to answer questions about how MNsure will work.
The forum will take place on the social networking site Twitter. It's a site for short comments and questions, and messages cannot exceed 140 characters.
UPDATE: Read a recap of the chat
The state has already held several in-person town hall forums to answer questions, and the Twitter chat is just an extension of those, said MNsure Executive Director April Todd-Malmlov.
