> In the USA, acne and pregnancy are often disqualifying conditions.

This is not true. Premiums and coverage are only allowed to vary by age and location, not preexisting conditions.

you realize this is literally only as of the ACA in 2010? and if the trump administration has its way (there's a supreme court case on the docket to completely kill ACA) we're going back to that?

What’s your point? It’s true now.

that there are literally active efforts working to make it not true

Yes, the past was different than the present.

But what about the future? :)

The Trump administration is neither plaintiff nor defendant in the court case you refer to.

is this a game of gotcha? i didn't say they were plaintiffs. i said they were exerting efforts. here are amicae briefs written by trump's DOJ

so what is your point other than to mislead?

If filing a Friend of the Court brief counts as "having its way", then the ACLU "has its way" on a majority of SCOTUS cases.

like I said: what is your point other than to mislead? you still have not made any positive claims
