(The number of people in Minnesota with no health insurance is at an all-time low of 3.8%.

The Minnesota Department of Health says it's the lowest percentage in the 22 years they've been tracking rates. The study does show that the number of people with employer-sponsored group coverage in Minnesota fell. In contrast, the number of people with state-sponsored health coverage increased.

Still, more people in Minnesota have employer-group health insurance than have government-sponsored health coverage.
