Could be a big winner of an ad if the facts check out. She says she was 26 when diagnosed and my first skim through google shows that although the changes took effect in 2010 it was only for people under 19

Effective September 2010, children (below age 19) with pre-existing conditions may not be denied access to their parents’ health plan and insurance companies will no longer be allowed to insure a child, but exclude treatments for that child’s pre-existing condition.

Starting in 2014, this provision will apply to adults as well. Until 2014, the information below remains valid for anyone over age 19.

Did she actually benefit from healthcare reform?
