Minnesota House Bill would require health insurance cover gender-affirming care

(St. Paul, MN) — Minnesota lawmakers are proposing a bill that would require coverage of gender affirming care for health plans. 

Representative Leigh Finke (DLF- St. Paul) says the bill applies to companies with religious exemptions, requiring them to inform employees of their stances when they would enroll in the company healthcare plan. Representative Danny Nadeau (R- Rogers) offered an amendment that would also cover de-transitioning, but it was voted down. 

The bill was laid over for a possible inclusion in a larger bill.
