I can't provide a link, but I can tell you that the insurance company is not paying those claims that are starting to come in from the January/Feb hospitalization. I read that the same way you do nevertheless the insurance company doesn't read it that way and is denying the claims. I will try and find some time and post one of those denial things they are sending out tomorrow. Keep in mind there is a lot of money at stake here my wife has been hospitalized 35 days so far in 2014 and 12 of those were in intensive care on life support.

Yes, malibber, the information from Kaiser is from last summer.
However, I don't think there's been an extension to the requirement that all employer plans cover pre-existing conditions beginning January 1, 2014. Can you provide a link to such an extension? As best I can tell, ALL employer plans that must cover pre-existing conditions now.
Also, I don't think you understand what you quoted from Kaiser. It says that while certain plans can be grandfathered, those plans also cannot exclude coverage for pre-existing conditions effective January 1, 2014. I think you've misread it to mean the opposite, that they CAN exclude coverage. You're reading it wrong.
Please provide a link stating that grandfathered employer plans have been excepted from the requirement that they cover pre-existing conditions effective January 1, 2014. I don't think such an extension has been made.
