Under the current proposal there is no underwriting, just a penalty for a gap in coverage. Stay tuned for updates.
Correction/Update according to Kaiser Family Foundation Compare Proposal page, the March 6th, 2017 proposal contains exceptions for Short-term non-renewable polices:
Short-term non-renewable policies can continue to be sold using medical underwriting.
Short-term non-renewable policies can continue to set premiums based on health status.
However regular policies are still guaranteed issue, still cover pre-existing conditions, and can only base premiums on age (and gap in coverage).Short term non-renewable policies can continue to exclude pre-existing conditions
