Mandates Include All Patients and Pre-Existing Conditions
Staff Reporters
According to the New York Times, November 20, 2008, the health insurance industry would support a health care overhaul requiring insurers to accept all customers, regardless of illness or disability, if Congress requires all Americans to have coverage.
Industry Trade Groups
In separate actions, the two trade groups, America’s Health Insurance Plans and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, announced their support for guaranteed coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions, in conjunction with an enforceable mandate for individual coverage.
Assessment
In the absence of such a mandate, insurers said, many people will wait until they become sick before they buy insurance. Members of Congress said that they wanted to pass legislation next year to expand coverage and rein in health care costs, while the new position taken by the insurance industry could ease the way for passage of such legislation.
