Would love to see some legitimate proof...of the "Just to state the facts."

Because as far as I understand, without actual legislation I don't see how anyone..can promise that.

But just for the sake of argument...let's say it's true.

There is a huge difference between "outright forbid/deny" and "obscene premium increases"...when it comes to preexisting conditions.

Given that even the so-called "not-for-profit" health insurance/providers need to at least break even, I can't quite figure out...how they can stay viable.

For those not in a large group plan (where discrimination for preexisting conditions isn't allowed) or those who qualify for Medicare (ditto) and without a mandate for a large group (that would be less likely to make claims) to contribute...how are insurance companies or health care providers supposed to stay solvent?

As for emergency room care, EMTALA (click here) only requires the institution to provide minimum care and to stabilize...an admitted (which a lot don't even allow admittance) patient.

This does not include those with cancer/obesity issues/diabetes/other long term health issues/Etc.
