(45,251 posts)For example, if an employer hires someone with a pre-existing condition, the insurer cannot charge more to add that person to the employer's plan (and that's great because it takes away a problem for an employer hiring a person with, say, a disability.)
I could not find anything that said the same thing as to an individual paying for his or her own plan.
I knew Obamacare made it illegal to deny coverage to individuals with pre-existing conditions, but I had not heard that the insurer could not charge them more.
I only looked at about 5 of the hits though, so I will take your word for it. Thank you. That is a relief because I have been worrying about the scenario I described in the post to which you replied. (Not for myself. Thank heaven, I don't have cancer and I am set with insurance.)
