Quibble

Why is it "pre-existing" [conditions]? Wouldn't a simple "existing" do the trick?

  1. The condition must exist at the time of the discussion about it, but it may or may not have existed at the moment insurance coverage began.

    "Existing" doesn't unambiguously describe that situation. And if someone says "Well, we don't say what point in time 'pre-' refers to so it is also ambiguous", I will smack them.
