Q. I was curious about how that would play through. Most insurance companies will not take you on as a customer if you have a pre-existing condition. (since it's hard to make money off say, a diabetic.) If your insurance is through your work and you change jobs, what happens? Since most of the time your insurance is dropped when you leave a job, i imagine it would be VERY tough for someone with AIDS, Cancer etc. to find another insurance provider.
A. If your insurance is through your work, and you have continuous coverage, the new group carrier is not allowed to exclude coverage for preexisting conditions. They're "on the hook" for it, same as the old carrier was.
Even if you have aids or cancer or diabetes.

What happens when the health care coverage starts and everyone with cancer and rare diseases with no insurance?
Q. who were previously denied treatment due to preexisting condition restrictions now have life-time comprehensive medical coverage which will cost millions per individual, billions looking at a larger picture?
Do the death panels/bioethics committees tell them no we can't treat you?
I'm having a little trouble understanding the financial aspects of how the US is going to cover every single US citizens rare or expensive disorder/disease when in the past they had no options due to cost also assuming they can't deny them coverage based on a preexisting condition. Any ideas?
Mutt, as I understand even if you can afford coverage, you still have the option of using the universal health care given you pay into it and it may be more comprehensive than the private coverage most pay for.

A. Well that was the whole point behind the healthcare plans Obama supported. Its the ugly truth that Republicans don't want you to know.
About 40% of Americans do not have and cannot afford health insurance. This rate is growing.
If you are wealthy or have employment that has group insurance that is affordable, you can get covered on devastating illnesses; but for the rest of Americans, they'd have to sell off everything they owned to get some coverage and most would STILL not be able to pay for it.
There is a article today that discusses just that; how most cancer patients put off care because they cannot afford the treatments.
It comes down to this. How lucky will you be that you won't ever need these treatments?

If the heart disease has been mostly in one form, then consider testing for it now while there are no symptoms. It might provide problems getting health insurance, but you will be able to take steps to limit future problems. And vote democrat to ease the future insurance coverage problem as republicans are against people with heart disease getting insurance.
If you have a heredity disease it will probably already be detectable. Some forms of cardiomyopathy will appear in the late teens. Many highschool athletes have died from it. How quickly it advances depends in part on your lifestyle.

What will insurance cover with a preexisting health condition and new pregnancy?
Q. I have a preexisting health condition (Graves Disease) and might be pregnant. What will my carrier cover and how do I find out? Will I need a lawyer to help me sort it out with them?
A. You will have to call your insurance company and find out what they cover.
You don't need a lawyer, to find out what they cover. That's a waste of your money. All you have to do is call them.
There are thousands of different plans out there, so no one here could possibly guess what YOUR plan covers.
