HealthCare.gov states that Marketplace plans must cover treatment for pre-existing conditions and that plans cannot reject applicants, charge more, or refuse essential benefits because of prior conditions.

As of the current federal marketplace rules, pre-existing-condition protections remain in force, which supports the promise outcome that coverage has been protected during Norcross's federal service.

This official analysis shows that the bill Norcross opposed would have weakened coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions.

The Supreme Court recorded that the U.S. House intervened at the appellate stage to defend the ACA and held that plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the minimum-coverage provision.
