The current progression of SB1511 raises significant concerns regarding privacy and healthcare rights. The requirement for insurers to disclose private patient information to government agencies infringes upon patient privacy. Furthermore, the mandate for coverage of detransition costs could potentially undermine individuals' access to gender-affirming care. The bill's stipulation for a public report containing sensitive patient data exacerbates these privacy violations. It is crucial to reconsider these aspects of the bill to ensure the protection of individual privacy and the right to accessible healthcare. The potential harm caused by these provisions outweighs any perceived benefits. Therefore, a thorough review and revision of SB1511 is requested.
