Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which includes provisions to protect health insurance coverage for workers and families when they change or lose their jobs. HIPAA restricts insurers from denying coverage to individuals with pre-existing conditions or basing premiums on health status. It also allows individuals to continue their health insurance coverage under their previous employer's plan for a set period of time after leaving that job.
