Ours has that feature. It takes getting used to but it's great for long trips. Ironically, the "driver attentiveness" monitor is so strong that I can't drink from a water bottle while autonomous driving is on. Instead I have to take control of the steering before glancing away

And fully insured plans would also be subject to this requirement....So on the plus side, almost half of the people with employer sponsored plans WOULD be covered.

So in plainer language: Minnesota State law requires that health plans cover reproductive/gender affirming care. But this requirement doesn't apply to 50% of the plans people get through their employers.

Not fun fact: about half the people in Minnesota covered by employer sponsored plans are in an ASO/self funded plan, meaning these state requirements don't apply 😔 www.kff.org/state-health...

Just to add to the complication that is health insurance, on the employer sponsored side this is only fully insured health plans. ASO plans (where the employer assumes the risk) are covered by federal law (ERISA) and are not subject to state regs like the one you mention.
