Louis Brandeis. Louis Dembitz Brandeis (/ËbrÃ¦ndaÉªs/; November 13, 1856 â October 5, 1941) was an American lawyer and associate justice on the Supreme Court of the United States from 1916 to 1939. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, to Jewish immigrant parents from Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic), who raised him in a secular home.
Note on Maternity Coverage. Pregnancy is generally considered to be a preexisting condition. Before Obamacare, if you were pregnant when you joined an insurance plan that excluded coverage for preexisting conditions including pregnancy, you would not be covered for maternity costs.
The bottom line: If you had at least 18 month of health coverage at your previous job and you enrolled in your new employer-sponsored health plan without a break of 63 days or more, your new health plan could not subject you to a pre-existing condition exclusion.
