AI Summary

This bill, the Pre-existing Conditions Protection Act of 2021, would prohibit health insurance providers from denying coverage or charging higher premiums based on pre-existing medical conditions, and would guarantee the availability of health insurance coverage in the individual and group markets. However, these provisions would only take effect if Congress passes legislation that repeals the Affordable Care Act (also known as "Obamacare") and restores the previous laws that the Affordable Care Act had amended or repealed.
