6. There is no proposed fine for excluding someone due to pre-existing conditions as far as I know.

But anybody who tries it will face the full weight of the US government's legal process because that is a cornerstone of the ACA that no one dare defy.

You aren't seriously suggesting that insurance companies will defy this part of the law, are you? Insurers that try this stunt will be put out of business and their higher-ups prosecuted, I suspect. Not to mention how it would be really easy to publicize their actions and boycott them.

Do read up on the law a little. My guess would be that denial of coverage in open defiance of this part of the law would bring great legal grief for whatever corporation tried it. Perhaps even a lawsuit by shareholders for putting the entire company in legal jeopardy.
