question about the pre-existing conditions part

[Soylent Brice]

i've been searching all morning, but my google-fu must be weak because i can't find anything stating that the pre-existing conditions clause applies to adults immediately also.

i keep reading threads here where people are stating that it covers adults as well as children immediately. i have yet to find anything that supports that.

does anyone have a link that states this?
all i can find is where it says it doesn't cover adults until 2014.

any help is appreciated.

* Prohibit pre-existing condition exclusions for children in all new plans;

* Provide immediate access to insurance for uninsured Americans who are uninsured because of a pre-existing condition through a temporary high risk pool;

3. ah, i see now.

"Provide immediate access to insurance for uninsured Americans who are uninsured because of a pre-existing condition through a temporary high risk pool;"

and then by 2014 it will just be standard across the board for everyone.

interesting how both sides are spinning that.
thanks for the info!!

4. phased in. Four years. Likely sooner, if you are poor.
