Both chronic and pre-existing conditions are now covered by insurance. Granted, a large number of the chronic conditions people face are caused by lifestyle choices and doctors don't have the power to make people want to change how they live their lives. Not smoking, eating less crap and exercising more would drastically reduce the amount of chronic health conditions Americans face. High blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, COPD and a host of other problems would drop dramatically if people lived healthier.
