Pre-Existing Conditions on Insurance

[Guest guest]

Hello list mates,

My almost 3 year old girl was diagnosed with ASD last year and I'm currently

switching jobs, and one thing the benefits department at the new job advised me

initially was that I should not let my kid be one day without insurance, so that

she is not flagged with a pre-existing condition. However when I spoke to the

Insurance Rep, I was told otherwise, that there's a law that does not let

children from 0 - 19 years of age, to have this " pre-existing condition " apply

to them. Is anybody familiar with this?

Thank you
