This year, if you have been uninsured for 6 months and have a pre-existing condition, you will gain access to health insurance that was not previously available to you.
A new program – known as a high-risk pool – will provide affordable insurance for Americans who are uninsured and have a pre-existing condition. This program will provide temporary protection for people with pre-existing conditions until 2014, when insurance companies can no longer deny you coverage based on your health.
