New York senate passed a bill to mandate public insurance coverage of medical marijuana. It would classify cannabis as a "prescription drug", "covered drug" or "healthcare service".

 

Private insurers are allowed to participate but they can opt out.

Honestly,  don't see them doing it voluntarily.

 

Marijuana Moment has the article.

I wonder if the dispensaries will also have the two tier pricing we saw at pharmacies. You pay full price if it’s out of your pocket but insurance companies usually get deep discounts on covered medications because of back room negotiations.

@monkeydo and @artmann as far as I know the plan was to have that type of system. My only worry is will this drive up the cost of medical cannabis for those who don’t have insurance? Kinda like other prescriptions drugs out there
