Didn't the ACA get rid of insurers denying coverage based on "pre-existing conditions"?

    now they just deny coverage with AI generated reasons and force you to nag and beg for them to pay what they're obligated to. much better! and before that they just paid some corrupt physician to sit on staff and make up bullshit reasons to deny coverage.

    Sure, but you're assuming that "coverage" leads to better outcomes. I remember diabetes being one of the big ones at the time and is avery maneagble disease.

    So, what was the hospitalization rate before and after? Did it decrease as was promised? Is diabetes unique or does this trend hold for the majority of those "pre-existing conditions"?
