Minnesota Health Plan establishment

SF 930 establishes the Minnesota Health Plan, a universal health care program requiring all Minnesota residents to be covered. The plan mandates comprehensive coverage for medical, dental, vision, mental health, prescription drugs, and long-term care, with premiums based on income and no co-pays. It creates new entities including the Minnesota Health Board and Minnesota Health Fund to administer the program, ensure provider access, and negotiate fair prices. The bill requires the state to seek a federal waiver under the Affordable Care Act to implement this system. All Minnesotans, including temporary out-of-state residents and nonresident workers in Minnesota, would be eligible for coverage under this plan.
