Some deny you.

It helps if you have read the discussion at hand.

Go back to my original quote. He was talking about his dad's cancer.

I was talking both of my dads cancer, and my baby nephews multiple open heart surgeries.

Some do, particularly if you are buying insurance on your own, but it is not even close to all. Specific to his nephew I may just not be aware of it but I've never heard of a pre-existing condition for a newborn either. That's why I asked why he would assume.

I'm certainly not saying it isn't a problem but the "pre-existing condition" issue is given so much attention people who don't know better assume if you had the flu one time you will never be able to get insurance again.

I didn't see the part about his nephew, I was referring to his dad.

And I don't think anyone's going to think about the flu in those terms. More like cancer, diabetes, etc.

That was hyperbole.
