Minnesota Health Plan establishment

SF 932 would establish the Minnesota Health Plan, a state-run 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 no co-pays and premiums based on income. It creates new entities including the Minnesota Health Board and Health Fund to manage the plan, and requires providers to accept the plan without restricting care. The bill directly affects all Minnesota residents, including temporary out-of-state residents and border community visitors, while allowing existing retiree benefits to continue.
