| Response from Ms. Franzoi
 I don't think repeal of PPACA will happen. However, it is likely that there will be changes to the Act. It is a work in progress and no one can say at this point what impact the Act as it stands or could be changed will affect people with HIV or other chronic illnesses. The hope is that people will be able to get coverage even with a pre-existing condition. However, at what cost is not clear. Currently, under HIPAA, an individual who loses healthcare coverage and exhausts his COBRA (or isn't eligible for COBRA) and doesn't have a break in coverage of 63 days or more would be eligible for a HIPAA policy, even if he has a pre-existing condition. | ||||||||
