"Pre-existing don't matter anymore"

"It says it all over the Obamacare website"

Conversation I just overheard between a couple sitting next to me here as I get dinner in the mall.

I imagine there are similiar conversations going on around the country.

Thank you, Mr President.

My middle child turned 26 and so I started looking for coverage for her. At the time, it appeared to make sense to move my youngest to an individual policy also because I was being charged a set amount for dependents when I only had one dependent. In September, I have both children apply for policies through an insurance agent friend and both children completed long medical history forms and were interviewed by a doctor. Both children were rejected for really stupid reasons.

I have now applied for coverage for both children and should have a policy that is cheaper than what I paid last year for dependent coverage
