Timeline
Becky Lourey (born September 24, 1943) is an American politician, a former Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) state senator and state representative, and a former Minnesota gubernatorial candidate.
Lourey was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 1990, defeating a longtime incumbent Republican, and became the first woman to represent her rural district.
She was reelected in 1992 and 1994.
At the heart of Lourey's health care plan was expanding and reforming MinnesotaCare, a state program providing health insurance to low-income Minnesotans that she, along with several others, had authored in the state legislature in 1993.
Lourey was elected to the Minnesota Senate in 1996, again defeating a veteran incumbent, later becoming chair of the Senate Health and Family Security Committee and earning a reputation as an expert on health care.
Her son Matt served in the U.S. Army and was killed on May 27, 2005, as a result of injuries received in combat over Buhriz, Iraq, where he was serving in his second tour of duty.
Lourey announced her candidacy for governor in November 2005.
She lost the DFL Party endorsement to Attorney General Mike Hatch, gaining the support of 31% of the delegates on the first ballot, with 38% voting for Hatch and 29% voting for Steve Kelley.
She withdrew from the endorsement process after the third ballot after falling behind Kelley, with Hatch's vote total increasing.
She ran against Hatch in the September primary, losing with 24% of the vote.
Lourey did not run for reelection in 2006.
That system would have been voluntary, not mandatory, like the Massachusetts health program enacted in 2006.
The platform also included other state-level health reform proposals, including the current Minnesota Medical Association's proposal.
Lourey's gubernatorial campaign health care platform was the Health Care Security Plan, which included a plan for universal health coverage in Minnesota by 2010.
Under Lourey's plan, all Minnesotans would have been eligible to join MinnesotaCare by 2010.
Employers could participate by offering their employer plan via a BusinessCare program to be created as part of MinnesotaCare.
Lourey's plan had several cost containment measures, including a requirement that any HMOs, private health insurers or Third Party Administrators receiving contracts to administer state-funded health plans spend no more than 5% on administrative expenses.
Lourey is the currently the owner of Nemadji Research Corporation, which specializes in "cost recovery and revenue maximization for health care providers."
Her son Tony held her former seat until 2018, after which he was appointed to Governor Tim Walz's cabinet.
