The implications of this decision are serious for both the insurance markets and the millions of people who rely on them. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is important for patients and consumers to realize that current law remains in place pending appeal. People who have purchased healthcare for 2019 from healthcare.gov will remain covered, and the millions of Americans who have coverage through Medicaid expansion will also remain covered.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our communities know the importance of insurance coverage and are all too familiar with the harm that will come if insurers were to return to coverage and pricing practices that discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions and fail to cover the services they need. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When the ruling is appealed, we hope that <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit will protect health care for people with chronic diseases.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adult Congenital Heart Foundation <br \/>Alpha-1 Foundation <br \/>ALS Association <br \/>American Diabetes Association <br \/>American Heart Association<br \/>American Liver Foundation <br \/>American Lung Association <br \/>Arthritis Foundation <br \/>Cancer Support Community <br \/>COPD Foundation <br \/>Crohn&#8217;s &amp; Colitis Foundation <br \/>Cystic Fibrosis Foundation <br \/>Epilepsy Foundation <br \/>Family Voices<br \/>Futures Without Violence<br \/>Global Healthy Living Foundation <br \/>Hemophilia Federation of America<br \/>Immune Deficiency Foundation <br \/>JDRF<br \/>Leukemia &amp; Lymphoma Society <br \/>Lutheran Services in America <br \/>March of Dimes <br \/>Muscular Dystrophy Association <br \/>National Alliance on Mental Illness<br \/>National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship<br \/>National Health Council <br \/>National Hemophilia Foundation <br \/>National Kidney Foundation <br \/>National Multiple Sclerosis Society <br \/>National Organization for Rare Disorders <br \/>National Patient Advocate Foundation <br \/>National Psoriasis Foundation <br \/><span class=\"xn-person\">Susan G.
