Yes.  In 1990 the Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan offered to federal employees
took all employees regardless of pre-existing conditions, with no
waiting period.  Some of the other health plans for federal employees
do this as well; the HMOs offered to federal employees have the same
gaps in coverage as HMOs offered to anyone else.

There is some noise in Congress that it's wasteful to have 35+ health
plans available to federal employees, and there should be fewer plans.
I think employees with pre-existing conditions would be short-changed
by changes to this.
