The Organ Transplants Bill
Michigan bill blocks insurance for organ transplants from forced‑harvest countries
Insurance: health insurers; organ transplant coverage; prohibit if the organ is from a country known for organ harvesting. Amends 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.100 - 500.8302) by adding sec. 3406ww.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, health insurers in Michigan could not pay for organ transplants that come from China or other nations known for forced organ harvesting.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
People who need a transplant would be protected from unethical organ sources, but they might lose coverage if they ever consider a donor from those countries, so they could face higher out‑of‑pocket costs.
