HR1558: Bill to End Health Insurance Discrimination Against Preexisting Conditions
Here are some tweets and links about this proposed legislation. Dinah's recent post about Sally Satel on Stigma generated some great comments discussion, especially this one by AA.

Roy,
Thank you for your kind words about my post in the Sally Satel thread.
I will take a look at the links you mentioned as I wasn't even aware that eliminating pre-existing conditions was up for consideration. It looks like I need to get busy.
Thank you for providing them.
AA
Oh, does this bring back the days I worked at a health ins. company, processing the files that came out of the weekly Underwriting Committee, the "RED Files", the ones that were Suspensions or Rescissions or needed a Rider on them for specific health conditions, because of pre-existing or the extreme-high cost or whatever.
This is quite some time ago that I worked there, I haven't been able to work in a long time.
I cringed for the poor people that those files represented. I also wondered how the physician that was on the committee could hold his head up, especially with the "do no harm" part of his medical oath.
