Senators Introduce Protect Act to Ensure Affordable Coverage for Americans With Pre-Existing Conditions
The Protect Act amends the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to:
- Guarantee the availability of health insurance coverage in the individual or group market, regardless of pre-existing conditions;
- Prohibit discrimination against patients based on health status - including prohibiting increased premiums for patients due to pre-existing conditions; and
- Prohibit insurance companies from excluding coverage of treatments for a beneficiary's pre-existing condition.
"Obamacare is running off the rails, and we have to do something to make sure people with pre-existing conditions are protected no matter what," said
"I strongly believe that no hardworking American should ever have to go to bed worried about being denied coverage or treatment if they or their children have a pre-existing condition, which is why I'm introducing the Protect Act," said
Other co-sponsors of the Protect Act include Senators
