What a crock of shit.The below statement sums up why the issue is phony.
An estimated 27% of adults under age 65 in the U.S. have a pre-existing condition.
And, a 2010 study conducted before enactment of ACA showed that 42% of adults aged 50 to 64 who tried to buy insurance in individual insurance markets were rejected outright, charged higher premiums, or had one or more disease conditions removed from coverage.
Possible Removal Of Pre-Existing Conditions Protections
WOW... 27% of adults under age 65 have a pre-existing condition that means of the total 55,671,030 supposedly
have a pre-existing condition that means that can't get health insurance right???
55.7 million! WOW...
But wait... 56% have group health insurance that covers them... that means.. 24.5 million without group insurance.
But wait...7% of Americans have private insurance so that leaves 22.7 million with out health insurance that might have "pre-existing conditions"...and can't get insurance... but WAIT...
When Obama floated this statement:
"We are not a nation that accepts nearly 46 million uninsured men, women and children,
It was proven by Politifact.org that Obama was "sloppy" because he counted 10 million that were illegal aliens.!
Wow... that meant then not 46 million but 36 million... But WAIT.....
Obama forgot this fact that was later PROVEN to be true by the same guy who said it took the stupidity of voters to pass Obamacare, when Obama counted 14 million as part of the 46 million uninsured...THAT WERE ELIGIBLE BEFORE ACA for Medicaid... they just didn't enroll!
PROOF! Last year, analysis from the RAND Corporation found that 6.1 million new Medicaid enrollees were already
eligible for Medicaid. MIT economist and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber estimates that nearly 9 million new Medicaid enrollees were already eligible.
Millions of Obamacare enrollees already had health insurance
a) So of the 46 million Obama stated 10 million illegal, 14 million were eligible for Medicaid...
that leaves 22 million that don't have insurance...
b) So if the 27% is a valid number 27% of 22 million that honestly WANT health insurance but due to pre-existing
conditions or less than 6 million people that can't get health insurance that want health insurance but due to
pre-existing conditions can't get it!
I'm going to shout now:
THAT is NOT half of all Americans that have pre-existing conditions!!!
Yet that was what started this whole conversation when Obama said:
Up to half of all Americans have a pre-existing condition." — Barack Obama on Thursday, September 26th, 2013 in a speech about the Affordable Care Act
Obama says half of Americans have a pre-existing condition
AND that's what got people all bent out of shape!
There are NOT half of all Americans that pre-existing conditions preventing them from getting health insurance!
NOW here is a solution for those truly 6 million that either don't qualify for Medicaid or group health insurance:
TAX the lawyers who have caused NEARLY $850 Billion a year in wasted health expenses.
10% of the The legal services industry in the United States generated 256.66 billion U.S. dollars in revenue in 2013.Topic: Legal services industry in the U.S.
25 billion in tax revenue would provide a $340/month health insurance premium for the 6 million that have pre-existing conditions.

And you know it's a crock of shit because republican candidates are scrambling to pretend they haven't voted against this and are now LYING and claiiming they will protect this..
Do NOT believe them
Crock of shit is ignoring the FACTS!
Now here is a crock of SHIT!
Fact check: The pre-existing conditions debate in health care
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/.../05/...pre-existing-conditions.../101283530/
May 4, 2017 - President Trump has said, “Pre-existing conditions are in the bill. ...
insurers can charge older individuals up to three times as much as younger people. .... What does the Republican Obamacare repeal bill actually do?
WHY does this happen? Car insurance costs more after age 70!
Generally, it isn't until around 70 that senior drivers may begin to see increased rates.
Car Insurance Myths: Older Drivers Pay More for Insurance | Esurance
Can you imagine moving just a few blocks to a new home and seeing as much as a 64 percent difference in your auto insurance premium?
That wasn’t a typo. While a number of factors can influence an auto insurance quote, including your age, the make and model of your car, your driving habits and your credit score, where you live — and specifically your ZIP code — may have more of an effect on your insurance rates than you think, a Bankrate survey finds.

Why aren't people living in high risk zip codes just as upset?
Why do car insurance rates increase after age 70 or moving from one zip code to another?
IT IS CALLED RISK MANAGEMENT!
Do you idiots understand? Health insurance "pre-existing conditions" ARE RISK MANAGEMENT!
