Senate File No. 1105 is a resolution from the Minnesota state legislature that addresses concerns with current federal healthcare regulations. Specifically, it criticizes waivers that allow exceptions to antitrust laws, fee-splitting bans, and self-referral prohibitions. These waivers have permitted healthcare providers, insurance companies, and other organizations to form large groups that may limit competition, influence pricing unfairly, and promote referrals that benefit them financially rather than focusing on patient care quality.

The resolution argues that these practices potentially compromise the integrity of the healthcare system, possibly resulting in reduced care quality and higher costs, as they put financial interests above patient care. The bill urges the President of the United States and relevant federal agencies to repeal these waivers. It also calls on Congress to amend a specific act (the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015) to allow healthcare clinics and hospitals the option not to engage in contracts that pay them based on the volume of care they provide.

The state of Minnesota intends to send this resolution to various key figures and committees in the U.S. government to advocate for these changes and ensure that healthcare practices prioritize patient welfare over financial incentives.
