Yes - Aetna just did it to us because our daughter has Asthma. I was so shocked. They stated the reason that her combined conditions of asthma and eczema (yes mild eczema - at least for her) "exceed the allowable limit provided by our underwriting guidelines"

As of January 1st, 2014, this is no longer permissible. No existing condition can be a reason for declining coverage. This is one of the changes that the PPACA (ObamaCare) made.

Generally yes. Most employer coverage is guaranteed issue. If you applied for an individual coverage and were denied for underwriting reasons that should have no effect on the employer plan. In fact, it is common for someone with an uninsurable condition to make the availablility of health insurance a prime consideration when looking for a new job for this very reason.
