Fifty-two percent of Americans either has or knows someone in their family who has a pre-existing condition. Dr. Alice Chen of Doctors for America, a Center for American Progress partner organization, wants you to know that the new health reform law ends the practice of insurance companies denying coverage because of a pre-existing condition.
The President's health law gives hard working, middle-class families the security they deserve.
