We support Mayor Andrew Gillum's plan that would prohibit insurers from denying coverage or benefits for any preexisting conditions, charging higher premiums on the basis of preexisting conditions, and using gender ratings to charge women more than men.
Why is this important?
While Washington is voting to repeal and deny health coverage for millions with preexisting conditions, we must take bold steps to ensure Florida is always a place where people can access the care they need. We must fight to protect those with cancer, diabetes, asthma, and other conditions. We can't go back to the days when people were denied coverage or forced to pay more because of a preexisting condition — or because they're a woman.
