This legislation raises significant privacy concerns by requiring insurers to disclose confidential patient information to government agencies without adequate protections. Mandating the disclosure of sensitive data related to gender transition treatments invades patient privacy rights. Furthermore, the proposal to compel coverage for detransition procedures threatens to undermine access to gender-affirming healthcare for those who need it. The creation of a public government report containing private patient data is an unacceptable violation of confidentiality. I urge you to reconsider these provisions that compromise individual privacy and healthcare rights. Policies should protect patient confidentiality and ensure equal access to vital medical care, not enable discrimination.
