                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that protections 
for individuals with pre-existing conditions should be retained in law 
  regardless of further amendments to, or the repeal of, the Patient 
                  Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Whereas pre-existing conditions can affect any individual regardless of race, 
        gender, age, social class, or creed;
Whereas health insurance coverage should not discriminate against those with 
        pre-existing conditions;
Whereas pre-existing condition protections have long been supported in a 
        bipartisan manner; and
Whereas protections for pre-existing conditions should be included in any reform 
        of our Nation's health care system: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
Congress should--
            (1) support protections in law for individuals with pre-
        existing conditions; and
            (2) in the case of a court ruling that would hinder such 
        protections, act swiftly to reinstate such protections for such 
        individuals.
                                 <all>
