Cockmaster posted:The thing there is that under the Affordable Care Act, health insurance companies can't charge more for being less than healthy, and only a limited amount extra for being old. Which we desperately needed - During the Bush administration, I had heard stories of people being turned down for individual health insurance (or at least being charged obscene prices) over trivial health issues. I needed individual health insurance for like 3 months during the Bush years. I have a diagnosed vague stomach issue so the best I could get was a carrier saying "we'll cover you but if anything happens that we can trace back to this vague issue then we won't cover it". Luckily my state had a plan for people with pre-existing conditions. My friend was denied because she had ADHD. That's separate than the "not paying more" thing. The above are examples of denials based on pre-existing conditions, which is also something ACA banned. Edit: ugh, I did a necro. OP, have you figured out a plan?
