Expanded Coverage for Pre-existing Conditions
On May 31st, Arthritis Foundation President and CEO Dr. John H. Klippel joined HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in support of changes to the government insurance programs that will make it easier for Americans with pre-existing conditions to get health insurance coverage. The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Program (PCIP) will offer more Americans with chronic conditions, like arthritis, access to affordable coverage. The PCIP is for people who are unable to purchase coverage due to a specific pre-existing medical condition.
