THe Dems now keep claiming falsly that only the ACA ensures coverage for pre-existing conditions.
That is also blatantly false.
I know because I was diagnosed and hospitalized before passage of the bill.
If one can prove to have had continuous coverage it was illegal for Insurance companies to deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions.
That was true before the bill passed.
What the bill does allow is that someone could not have had coverage can go to the Doctor be diagnosed with a horrible illness walk outside call a health insurance provider and get coverage.
The same coverage as a healthy person.
There is not even a penalty involved.
