Myrna-Care: Health Coverage for People with Pre-Existing Conditions

HealthCare.gov shares Myrna Rodriguez Previte's story about her struggle to get health insurance when she was faced with breast cancer. Seven insurance companies turned her down because of her pre-existing condition. As a self-employed real estate broker, she was responsible for her own health insurance but she couldn't get coverage. Fortunately, she was able to get insurance through her husband's plan at work. Thanks to the [Affordable Care Act][1], beginning in 2014, it will be illegal for insurers to deny coverage to anyone due to a pre-existing condition.
