Romney Health Care Debate Claim Gets Corrected by His Own Staff by Julie Rovner. NPR. October 6, 2012.
In the debate on Wednesday Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney asserted that preexisting conditions were covered under his plan. In fact, only the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) allows those without insurance who currently have preexisting medical conditions to be protected from discrimination by insurance companies. Current law allows those who currently have coverage to continue to pay premiums and continue receiving insurance coverage. Only those who currently covered by current law will be covered by the Romney proposal as acknowledged by a top Romney aid.
