Do ANY of These Health Plan Measures Disturb you??? 'n' WHY???
1. Ends Discrimination for Pre-Existing Conditions: Insurance
companies will be prohibited from refusing you coverage because of
your medical history.
2. Ends Exorbitant Out-of-Pocket Expenses, Deductibles or Co-Pays:
Insurance companies will have to abide by yearly caps on how much
they
can charge for out-of-pocket expenses.
3. Ends Cost-Sharing for Preventive Care: Insurance companies must
fully cover, without charge, regular checkups and tests that help you
prevent illness, such as mammograms or eye and foot exams for
diabetics.
4. Ends Dropping of Coverage for Seriously Ill: Insurance companies
will be prohibited from dropping or watering down insurance coverage
for those who become seriously ill.
5. Ends Gender Discrimination: Insurance companies will be
prohibited
from charging you more because of your gender.
6. Ends Annual or Lifetime Caps on Coverage: Insurance companies
will
be prevented from placing annual or lifetime caps on the coverage you
receive.
7. Extends Coverage for Young Adults: Children would continue to be
eligible for family coverage through the age of 26.
8. Guarantees Insurance Renewal: Insurance companies will be
required
to renew any policy as long as the policyholder pays their premium in
full. Insurance companies won't be allowed to refuse renewal because
someone became sick. |

If you're a known major expense coming up for them already, can they charge you
more?

Why? You won't get 100%. Maybe 80%. Your 20% grows and grown and grows.

Checkups don't prevent - they catch early for those expensive health care moves
later on.
Quote: 4. Ends Dropping of Coverage for Seriously Ill: Insurance companies

for those who become seriously ill.
But that's exactly what rationing will do.
Quote: 5. Ends Gender Discrimination: Insurance companies will be
prohibited from charging you more because of your gender.
6. Ends Annual or Lifetime Caps on Coverage: Insurance companies
will be prevented from placing annual or lifetime caps on the coverage you
receive.
But rationing is EXACTLY what will happen. It's historical.
Quote: 7. Extends Coverage for Young Adults: Children would continue to be
eligible for family coverage through the age of 26.
THEY don't want to pay for it now.
Quote: 8. Guarantees Insurance Renewal: Insurance companies will be
required to renew any policy as long as the policyholder pays their premium in
full. Insurance companies won't be allowed to refuse renewal because
someone became sick.
