For those 200+ million currently covered through an employer-based plan, the bill will:: a) end the practice of insurance companies denying coverage to anyone with pre-existing conditions.
b) prevent insurance companies from raising rates or dropping coverage for those who suddenly face a serious illness.
c) cap annual out-of-pocket expenses so that no one faces significant unanticipated expenses or goes bankrupt as a result of a medical crisis.
d) drop all copays for preventive care.
e) ends any existing lifetime caps on what insurance companies will currently pay.
