i know a lot of americans are concerned about getting health coverage if they have a pre-existing medical condition. indeed people who have medical conditions and may have been denied coverage in the past because of their health status will be able to get coverage under health reform beginning in 2014. the question of affordability is a bit more complicated. the cost of health insurance (we sometimes call "premiums") will vary by plan and from state to state. you may be eligible for subsidies to help you afford coverage if your income is below a certain amount. the best thing you can do is to look closely at the specific coverage options available to you compare the costs and benefits when the new marketplaces go live on october 1 and make a good decision for you and your family for coverage by january.
i've been denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition. will i be able to find affordable options under obamacare?
