Young Leads Resolution Supporting Protections for Those with Pre-Existing Conditions

Press Release

Iowa Congressman David Young led a group of 27 members of the House of Representatives in introducing a resolution (H.Res. 1066) stating Congress must support protections for those with pre-existing conditions.

"I have sat with families at Blank Children's Hospital and with Iowans with disabilities in their homes who, like me, want to ensure protections for those with pre-existing conditions remain strong. I have always supported protecting those with pre-existing conditions and have ensured they can't be denied coverage or charged more. This is the latest of many steps I have taken to make sure Iowans with pre-existing conditions continue to have the protections they deserve and get the care they need," said Congressman Young.

The resolution states in part, "...it is the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress should support protections in law for individuals with pre-existing conditions; and in the case of a court ruling that would hinder such protections, act swiftly to reinstate such protections for such individuals."

The resolution was introduced, in alphabetical order, by Reps. Don Bacon, Rod Blum, Mike Bost, Susan Brooks, Mike Coffman, Carlos Curbelo, Rodney Davis, Mario Diaz-Balart, Dan Donovan, Jenniffer González-Colón, Jaime Herrera Beutler, Bill Huizenga, Will Hurd, David Joyce, John Katko, Peter King, Steve Knight, Frank LoBiondo, David McKinley, Martha McSally, Dan Newhouse, Jim Renacci, Elise Stefanik, Fred Upton, David Valadao, Mimi Walters, Kevin Yoder, and David Young.
