You still get asked smoking status on the exchange. It affects subsidy levels. * edit to say, I think it actually asks about tobacco use, not specifically smoking. But the point remains.
That said, most people know absolutely nothing about health insurance or health care in the US beyond the memes.

- jmye 3y agoAhh, sorry, I misread your post. Thought you were saying they couldn’t because it was pre-existing. My bad, and your larger point was still correct.
