Florida is the latest state attempting to target transgender adults. The new "Reverse Woke" act would make companies liable in perpetuity for detrans care if they cover trans healthcare.
I think another likely outcome is that businesses decide it's just not worth it to do business in Florida or other states like it. A lot of companies that provide gender-affirming care in Tennessee for example will reimburse the cost of travel to other states where gender-affirming care is provided (and similarly with abortion access).
I get the feeling that at some point companies are just going to decide it's not worth the cost of doing business in states that saddle them with these kinds of requirements. Which is bad for the state overall, but will probably make for a double whammy when you can't get gender-affirming care AND your job gets moved somewhere else.
Is it possible for employers to include language in employment contracts to nullify the right to sue said employer and insurance company? Also, if the employee is in Florida and the company is headquartered in Chicago, isn't that interference with interstate commerce that would then fall under federal law. It seems like there are a lot of loopholes that can be used to get around this.
