You and the MSM got all bent out of shape when President Trump said he was wire tapped! WOW!
By the way how is that turning out folks... seems it was TRUE!
BUT where were idiots and the MSM when Obama said:
"Up to half of all Americans have a pre-existing condition,"
This myth became so important it was a key feature of Obamacare!
So major feature of Obamacare was elimination of "pre-existing conditions".
Obama lied when he said: "Up to half of all Americans have a pre-existing condition,"
At an event in Maryland on Sept. 26, 2013, President Barack Obama highlighted the program’s benefits. High on his list was the new rule about pre-existing conditions, health problems that insurance companies use to deny coverage to would-be new customers.
"Up to half of all Americans have a pre-existing condition," he told the crowd in Maryland.
Obama says half of Americans have a pre-existing condition
Half would be 155 million people of the then 310 million Americans!
But what do the insurance companies say about the number of "pre-existing conditions"
A total of LESS THEN 1.5 million Americans who were denied health insurance or paid higher premiums due to pre-existing conditions.
Obama's Pre-existing Conditions Whopper
So then how did the REALITY of "pre-existing projections by Obamacare advocates turn out???
WHAT HAPPENED to the 155 million that Obama quoted. Sure sounded like grandiose hyperbole
when he said "Up to half of all Americans have a pre-existing condition,"
Reality! less then 60,000 enrolled in the "Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans!!!
