"Health Reform and Americans with Pre-existing Conditions - The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan was created to make health insurance available to you if you have had a problem getting insurance due to a pre-existing condition. The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan:

• Will cover a broad range of health benefits, including primary and specialty care, hospital care, and prescription drugs.
  
• Doesn’t charge you a higher premium just because of your medical condition.
  
• Doesn’t base eligibility on income."
