SAINT PAUL, Minn. - Yesterday, Representative Robert Bierman (DFL-Apple Valley) was appointed as the DFL co-chair of the House Health Finance and Policy Committee.
“As I listen to our neighbors in Apple Valley, exorbitantly high health care costs continue to put a strain on family budgets and significantly contribute to people simply forgoing the care they need when they need it,” said Rep. Bierman. “Minnesotans deserve quality, accessible and affordable care, and I look forward to finding solutions to lower these costs to improve access with my republican co-chair.”
Representative Bierman served as the vice chair of the House Health Finance and Policy Committee during the 2023-2024 biennium. He helped inform a new emergency insulin framework in Minnesota, supplying insulin to people who cannot afford it. In 2023, Rep. Bierman also spearheaded a nation-leading law that protects Minnesotans’ interests during health care system mergers, consolidations, and transactions.
The 2025 legislative session is slated to begin on January 14th.
