If I switch from an individual health insurance plan to a group plan, will I have coverage for pre-existing conditions under HIPAA?

Not a single politician wants to get rid of coverage for pre-existing conditions.

Plus, prior to the ACA, you could go from group to individual under HIPAA which is 24 years old now. 

Need not worry about pre-existing conditions. That's just democrat politicians trying to win votes with falsehoods.

That's NOT what HIPAA is about.  It has nothing to do with pre-existing conditions.  Check the new policy.  We aren't mind-readers.

Michael,EVERYONE wants the elimination of pre-existing condition clauses.

Not only democrats.

The American Health Care Act of 2017 is very representative of mainstream Republicans.

- it allows automatic acceptance (no pre-existing condition clauses).

- But it provides protections that limit cost increases associated, which the ACA does not have and will "help" (not resolve) affordability issues.

HIPAA eliminates any pre-existing condition clauses for group plans as long as you have had continuous coverage (doesn't matter employer to employer plan or individual to employer plan).

*** After HIPAA was passed, almost all companies eliminated pre-existing condition clauses with their health plans over the next 5-7 years.  This means even if the person didn't have continuous coverage, there were no pre-existing condition clauses.ACA's issue with pre-existing conditions is that insurance companies adopted a policy for private plans of denying coverage instead of establishing a pre-existing condition clause to the applicant.

HIPAA was introduced by Republicans.
