Bill GOP indicates that it covers pre-existing conditions. But some are worried sickObamacare demanded that insurers charge everyone the same amount, regardless of their health history and cover essential health benefits, such as prescription drugs, Hospitalization and physician visits.
This release indicates that insurance companies can raise prices for those with pre-existing conditions and must not guarantee that treatments are covered.
Alma Hayes-Belmont, 62 years old, was diagnosed with asymmetric septic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy about 10 years ago. The condition occurs when the heart muscle cells grow, causing the walls of the lower chambers to become thick and stiff."I had no history of heart problems but I almost died several times that day," said CNN Hayes-Belmont, who lives in Mahwah, New Jersey. Doctors have implanted it with a defibrillator by the end of the week.
Over the years, her heart continued to weaken and climb the stairs would let her puff. Nearly three years ago, doctors implanted a device combining a pacemaker and a defibrillator. This helps him to stay alive.
But she worried about what will happen when it will be time to replace her device.
She had insurance through her employer before going to Medicare last year. She estimates that she should spend more than $ 200,000 for the medical device, hospital stays and medical visits if she did not have insurance.
"The new health law scares me," she said.
