The Kansas Senate has unanimously passed a bill to protect the insurance of military men and women deployed beyond the borders of the United States. This bill now advances to the House for consideration.
This legislation stipulates that an individual who has received an honorable discharge will have 30 days to reapply for health insurance and that the rates for that coverage will be the same as when they were deployed. Penalties for any “pre-existing” conditions except for age are prohibited. “Pre-existing conditions,” are defined as injuries sustained while deployed to active duty or health conditions that may surface while deployed.
This legislation further stipulates that rates for auto and homeowners insurance will have no adverse action taken against them, such as cancellation, nonrenewal or premium increase, based solely on the insured’s military deployment.
