I think its not true too. But Im told health insurance is suppose to be different than all other kinds of insurance in that you can keep your coverage in one state when moving to another state. But the company will change the rates they charge for where youre moving to, and it might be higher or it might be lower but usually higher. To change to a new policy with the same company in another state they definately do take into account your pre-existing conditions and may not give you a policy in the new state though. I could be wrong but this is what I was told, I hope this helps.
