Pre-existing conditions are accepted.

SEC. 111. PROHIBITING PRE-EXISTING CONDITION EXCLUSIONS.

A qualified health benefits plan may not impose any pre-existing condition exclusion (as defined in section 2701(b)(1)(A) of the Public Health Service Act) or otherwise impose any limit or condition on the coverage under the plan with respect to an individual or dependent based on any health status-related factors (as defined in section 2791(d)(9) of the Public Health Service Act) in relation to the individual or dependent.


So far so good. This is already standard for private group-health plans.

The problem is that ObamaCare will arbitrarily decide when to stop treating your condition due to “outcome based measures” (Sec 1162(3)(b)(ii)) of “comparative effectiveness research” (Sec 1181).

So basically if you too old or otherwise deemed undesirable, your treatments (kidney dialysis, etc) will simply be stopped.
