What Just Happened

Some good things have just kicked in, no thanks to Repub and Blue Dog opposition to healthcare reform laws.
  • Many plans will be prohibited from placing lifetime limits on medical coverage, and they will not be able to cancel the policies of people who fall ill.
  • Children with pre-existing conditions will not be denied coverage.
  • Dependent children will remain on their parents' health insurance plans until age 26.
  • Private plans must cover peventive services with no co-payments, and with preventive services being exempt from deductibles.
  • Insurers will no longer be able to cancel your health insurance retroactively due to an unintentional mistake made by you or your employer on your paperwork.
  • A way to appeal insurance company coverage determinations or claims is established along with an external review process.
  • States are granted money to investigate unreasonable rate hikes by private insurance companies.
