Delaware bans insurance companies from excluding coverage for transgender residents

Delaware has become the 15th state to ban insurance companies from limiting or excluding health care coverage for transgender people.

Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart issued a bulletin Wednesday that specifically prohibits private insurers from denying, canceling, terminating, limiting, restricting or refusing to issue plans based on a person's gender identity, transgender status or if the person is undergoing a gender transition.
*********************************
The story is a couple days old but good news for Delawarans purchasing health insurance. The story doesn't indicate whether or not companies providing health insurance for their employees will be allowed to keep transgender exclusions, but any move forward is a move forward.
