ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota health experts head to Germany this week to examine a medical system where everyone has insurance and private health plans operate under government supervision.
The 13-member delegation includes state Human Services Commissioner Cal Ludeman, legislators and officials from the Mayo Clinic, University of Minnesota, Planned Parenthood and AARP.
The group will meet with German health care regulators and insurers.
They will also visit a for-profit hospital.
The trip runs Tuesday through Sunday. It's organized by the University of Minnesota's Center for German and European Studies.
