finding a plan
Minnesota's Small Business Health Options Program, known as the SHOP exchange, is open to organizations with up to 50 workers.
Businesses may choose a traditional group coverage plan or create a defined benefit plan, in which they contribute a certain amount of money toward insurance, and workers go to the exchange and buy the health plan that best fits their needs.
