A pair of bills moving through the legislature and getting committee hearings would mandate abortion and transgender surgery coverage in all Minnesota health plans. In other words, despite a majority of Minnesotans personal feelings that these are immoral acts, they would be footing the bill every month that they pay their health care insurance premiums.
Rep Leigh “Chris” Finke (a man pretending to be a woman) is the author on HF 2607, which now has 24 co-authors in the House and the maximum five authors on the Senate companion bill.
Finke’s bill would create a law that says “no health plan that covers physical or mental health
services may be offered, sold, issued, or renewed in this state” if it excludes “gender affirming care” or “gender affirming services.”
Another bill, authored by Rep Zach Stephenson (DFL – Coon Rapids), would mandate that all health insurance plans cover abortion services in the state. That bill, HF 4053, has a total of eight authors in the house and the maximum allowed authors of five on the Senate companion bill.
Stephenson’s extreme bill would create new law in Minnesota that adds “abortions and abortion-related services” as “required coverage” for health plans in the state.
