Who needs the Affordable Care Act?

Who needs the Affordable Care Act? Maybe the estimated 129 million Americans under age 65 with pre-existing health conditions.
As many as 129 million Americans under age 65 have medical problems that are red flags for health insurers, according to an analysis that marks the government's first attempt to quantify the number of people at risk of being rejected by insurance companies or paying more for coverage.
The ACA, which will prohibit insurers from denying coverage or charging more on the basis of existing medical problems, would be a tremendous benefit.

The Party of No offers those of us with medical conditions nothing but further discrimination from insurers.
