Equal health care for all

 

Health care in the state of Minnesota is not affordable for everyone. Employers should be required to cover at least 85

percent of their employees' healthcare benefits. This measure would impact employers, but it would help individuals

afford health care and ultimately enhance their overall well-being. This will also be a benefit to health care providers

and bring in more business on their end.

 

 

The terms of the bill would be included:

Health

Dental

Verison

 

 

Long and short-term disability. 64

This bill is crucial because, in today's world, not everyone has access to health care benefits, leading to significant

gaps in their mental and physical well-being. Once enacted, this legislation will apply statewide. All employers under

national companies or LLCs, that are businesses registered in Minnesota, will be obligated to comply with its

provisions.

 

 

The funding for this bill will come from an existing reinsurance program in Minnesota, which covers 80 percent of

healthcare claims between $50,000 and $250,000. Health care providers can pay into the state 10 percent of their profit

in to taxes to help fund this bill.

 

Employees will have to submit proof of providing 85 percent coverage on health care to the state once a year. If the

employer fails to file this form, they will be fined $1,000 per employee.

 

 

This bill should go into effect in the next calendar year January 1st, 2027.
