“And insurers won’t be able to rescind coverage for adults or children unless they can show evidence of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of a material fact in an application.”
I distinctly remember this was one argument FOR the plan, to get rid of this abuse of rescinding coverage because you forgot about something on your application which they blow all out of proportion.
Business as usual…they put it back in there when no one was looking and forgot to tell us about it until this website. Because I sure haven’t heard it on the “news”.

What about dental services access???
This is a good attempt to fix the problems, but there’s more that needs to occur before it’s viable!
