The Trump administration's lawsuit to end protections for pre-existing conditions could also hurt people over who get health insurance through their jobs.

Larry Levitt, the senior vice president of the Kaiser Family Foundation, explained to TPM that the majority of Americans who get their health insurance through a large group employer would also be impacted.
“Even before the ACA, individual employees couldn’t be turned down based on their health in employer health insurance plans. So, nothing would change there,” he said. But if an employee with a pre-existing condition did not have insurance before joining the company plan, Levitt added, the company plan could refuse to cover treatment for their particular pre-existing condition — a practice banned by the ACA.
“The Justice brief appears to include that prohibition as part of the guaranteed issue provisions in the ACA that would get thrown out,” he said.
