Twin Cities United Healthcare announced it is merging with another major national health care firm, Kentucky-based Humana.

The company will be based in Minnesota, and retain the United Healthcare name, but observers say it's unlikely to have much affect on consumers or the health care industry in the state. Minnesota Public Radio's Bill Catlin reports.
