Age is not a preexisting condition?

Remember the main (and most popular) promise? No denial of coverage or discrimination based upon preexisting conditions.

The House healthcare bill "would allow private insurers to price premiums up to twice as high for older people".

The Senate healthcare bill "would allow private insurers to price premiums up to three times as high for older people".

People between ages 45 and 65 are the ones who have the greatest need and the hardest time finding affordable coverage. How does this help?
