these plans are not just for the young. at 60 years old (which many would still say is quite young) you will be eligible for a plan through your state's marketplace. you can no longer be denied coverage or charged more for previous medical diagnoses or treatment.
are these new health insurance options just for young people? . i'm a healthy 60 year old. i completed a 500-mile bike ride in my late 40s and still swim and exercise regularly. i work full time because i need health insurance. i've been denied coverage by every insurer because of a 2006 diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. i've been symptom free for years all blood work negative for ra and according to my rhuematologist am either in remission or was misdiagnosed. when will the pre-existing conditions clause really go away?
