According to Obama/Biden..."Up to half of all Americans have a pre-existing condition,"

[healthmyths]

Last night's debate raised this number that was first stated by Obama. IT IS TRUE...BUT...
The impression that almost all the MSM, Biden supporters, and many many uninformed people is that then THESE 180 million Americans can't get insurance!
AND THAT is a LIE!
A) Assume 330 million or half which would be 165 million with pre-existing conditions. How many of these have health insurance that covers "pre-existing"?
B) According to recent data from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), about 156,199,800 Americans, or around 49 percent of the country’s total population, receive employer-sponsored health insurance (also called group health insurance).

Folks. add those numbers up..that's 278,015,570 or 84%
So where are according to Obama/Biden "over half of all Americans with "pre-existing conditions" not being covered?
This is the ASSUMPTION they, the MSM et.al. that don't seem to comprehend this FACT!
Do a search on "how many have "pre-existing conditions" nearly 6 million... and almost all make the same erroneous leap... all with Pre-existing conditions are uninsured!

They are covered now under the ACA, and most Americans end up with pre-existing conditions, unless they just die from a massive heart attack.

By the way what would one do if self employed or didn't have a job??

 

[Penelope]

We need to get jobs out of health insurance, how many stay at a rotten job just for health ins.

 

[ABikerSailor]

If Trump gets his way and gets rid of the ACA, people with pre existing conditions will no longer be covered.

And no, even though Trump has been telling everyone that he has a great health care plan that will be released "soon", he has yet to do so, and he's been promising "soon" for the past 3 1/2 years.

Bullshit!!!
The ACA only covers a small group. Biden admitted only 20 million out of 330 million Americans. The ACA only covers a fraction of us yet is dominates every part of health care in this country. Doctors spend half of their time filling out forms to keep within government guidelines.
The ACA doesn't provide insurance to the middle-class....it's designed to suck taxes from them and give it to welfare cases and illegal immigrants that the Democrats won't admit are covered under the program. The deductibles in the ACA are so high for earners that they might as well not have insurance. On some programs the deductible is as high as $20,000 before the insurance starts paying. What's the point of paying hundreds of dollars per paycheck when you need another supplemental insurance from a private company to make up the difference?

And by the way... WHERE are YOUR facts? I go to a lot of effort to substantiate MY statements... people like YOU.... GUESS!

MEDICAID!!
Did you know that there were BEFORE ACA 14 million people who qualified for Medicaid but didn't know it? Where was Obama at that time? Proof of that was this:
FACTS!!!
Now even the architect of ObamaCare declared that number was wrong as the attached document describes regarding people who didn't know they were eligible for Medicaid because the Obama administration kept these 14 million people ignorant!

Gruber and his coauthors, using data from the Census Bureau, estimate that Medicaid “produced 63% of the gains [in coverage] that we identified” for 2014. They also found that much of this gain was attributable to the enrollment in Medicaid of people who were eligible for the program under criteria that preceded the ACA’s Medicaid expansion:

New Gruber Study Raises Major Questions About Obamacare's Medicaid Expansion

A new study suggests that people who were already eligible for Medicaid before the ACA have been inappropriately categorized as though they are newly eligible because of the ACA and that a lot fewer people than previously thought would lose coverage if the ACA is repealed.
