What do you mean, "goes bare"? My family has had continuous coverage since I get married, and both me and my wife had continuous coverage prior to that. Are you trying to say it's impossible to be denied coverage? You're wrong.

I'm not going to get into the severity of the "chronic conditions" we're talking about because they're none of your business, but based on prevalence in the population, it's crazy that they're auto-decline conditions.

I'm not saying that it's impossible to be denied coverage; I'm saying that continuous coverage can make that a non-problem.

Are they "auto-decline" or "they can't charge expected costs"?

No one asked you to, so why the attitude?
