Can you please provide your source?

From the drafts I've reviewed, the employer change is to the mandate to provide insurance (or the penalties associated with not providing coverage) - not to who can be covered if health insurance is offered (which is covered by laws that predate the ACA).

The only change I'm aware of in connection with pre-existing conditions isn't specifically related to pre-existing conditions - but to a gap in coverage. (With or without pre-existing conditions.) Aside from insurers being able to charge 30% more for one year for a gap in coverage, I believe pre-existing coverage is the same.
