forced organ harvesting; insurance; prohibition
HB 2109, titled the "Arizona End Organ Harvesting Act," allows Arizona insurance providers to limit coverage for human organ transplants or post-transplant care under two specific conditions: if the transplant surgery occurs in China or Hong Kong, or if the organ was procured through a sale or donation originating in China or Hong Kong. This applies to health insurance, disability policies, and Medicare plans covered under Arizona law. The bill does not require insurers to cover organ transplants and explicitly states it does not prevent insurers from denying coverage for other valid reasons. It directly affects insurance companies and policyholders seeking coverage for transplants linked to China or Hong Kong.
