End So-Called "Pre-Existing Conditions!"
Target: U.S. Congress
Sponsored by: SEIU
The insurance industry regularly refuses coverage to people with so-called "pre-existing conditions." Recently we've started to learn just what, exactly, qualifies as a "pre-existing condition," and the facts are startling.
In eight states and Washington, D.C., insurance companies are able to deny coverage to victims of domestic violence, claiming it as a "pre-existing condition." Insurance companies have also denied women coverage due to previous pregnancies and c-sections. And one insurance company is even telling healthy clients that they must be sterilized if they want to receive coverage! (Listen to Peggy tell her nightmare story here.)
It makes you wonder, where do these guys draw the line? What is NOT considered a "pre-existing condition"?
We're on the verge of passing sweeping health insurance reform that would end this practice once and for all. Tell Congress that health insurance reform must happen now. We can't afford to wait!

Please end pre-existing conditions. If the people are going to be required to have health insurance it would make sense to make it possible. Most people, at this point in time, have had what qualifies as a pre-existing condition.
