LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The state Senate on Thursday again approved an operational overhaul of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan — the state’s largest health insurer — about a month after Gov. Rick Snyder vetoed one of his top priorities because of last-minute abortion provisions added to gain some Republicans’ support.

The bills that won unanimous approval no longer include language that would prevent insurers and businesses from providing elective abortion coverage in employee health plans. The plan now heads to the House, where its future is murkier because a new crop of lawmakers took office weeks after the Republican governor’s veto.
