Senator Amy Klobuchar concluded her annual 87-county tour of Minnesota with a visit to the Olson farm near Thief River Falls, where healthcare costs were part of the conversation. “When I hear these stories in rural Minnesota, they’re just gut-wrenching of how much money people are spending on premiums,” said Klobuchar. “It just bugs me that they gave the same amount of money to Argentina that would have covered a one-year reduction in the premium. I would have liked the president to come to the negotiating table.” On farm policy, Klobuchar noted the challenges facing farmers due to tariffs and delayed legislation. “They are going to give some aid to farmers, and that’s good, but I think, number one, we’ve got to reverse these tariffs. They’re incredibly damaging.”
