(54,770 posts)patients' records to help avoid denials. or premium increases, for pre-existing conditions, or even newly diagnosed conditions. Looks like we are back to that, and some patients will avoid care to keep from getting branded with a pre-existing condition. That's just friggin wrong.

(297,650 posts)Obamacare to lose their pre-existing conditions' benefits.
And, to think Obamacare was so maligned by the gop for years but many of their constituents finally found out for themselves how much it has helped.
I hope those who are affected by this will Resist with their Votes in 2020.

(22,149 posts)Most American citizens will be affected. I have several of these conditions/illnesses. The list would be much shorter if they just listed what they WILL cover.
