This is the full statement by the Minnesota Medical Association on David Feinwachs:

"The MMA has worked with David Feinwachs for many years. He is capable, determined, and a strong advocate. His efforts to further understand how Minnesota health plans are spending state dollars to provide coverage for Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare enrollees is a goal the MMA shares and one that we have been working to address since 2009. Although we may have differences of style and tactics, I believe Mr. Feinwachs' passion has helped draw broader attention to a very important issue."
