So post-menopausal women are now required to buy a more expensive plan that includes maternity coverage because, "insurers aren't allowed to exclude sick people anymore." Sure...that makes sense.
- tptacek 12y agoThe idea that a typical post-menopausal woman could easily obtain any kind of health insurance on the individual market prior to the ACA is laughable.
- krupan 12y agoI didn't just make that up and this woman that I know really did have insurance before ACA (sans maternity coverage, for obvious reasons).
- tptacek 12y agoI have zero doubts that there are post-menopausal women who were able to obtain coverage before the ACA, just like I would not bet every dollar I had to my name if I found myself holding AA before the flop.
