This is the single most common question we're asked, and the answer is genuinely 'often, yes' — with a caveat that matters.

Private plans are underwritten

The carrier reviews your health history and can decline. Well-controlled conditions are frequently accepted. Conditions in active treatment are where declines happen most often.

Which carrier matters more than which condition

Underwriting guidelines differ substantially between carriers. The same history can be declined by one and accepted by another — which is most of what a broker is actually for.

When to stop and go to the marketplace

If you need guaranteed acceptance, the ACA Marketplace is the answer, full stop. Guaranteed issue is exactly what it's for, and no underwritten plan can promise the same thing.
