consumerist.com — “Health insurance providers have a long history of telling individual policyholders -- and people shopping for individual policies -- that their care isn't covered or their policy is voided because of a pre-existing condition. Starting in 2014, that is all supposed to stop when a condition of the Affordable Care Act kicks in, making it illegal for health insurers in the individual market to deny coverage, increase premiums, or restrict benefits because of a pre-existing condition. Question is: Ju” View full resource at consumerist.com
