(Washington Post) — The Obama administration will allocate $207 million to the District, Maryland and Virginia on Thursday to fund insurance pools for people who have been denied affordable medical coverage because of preexisting health problems.
The money is part of a $5 billion federal effort to cover Americans with serious medical conditions who have been uninsured for at least six months. The temporary high-risk insurance pools are among the first programs to operate under the health-care lawsigned in March and are the subject of significant partisan fighting on Capitol Hill.
