Overturning the ACA is not only about pre-existing condition protections. It& #39;s also about the Medicaid expansion, closing the Medicare drug coverage donut hole, preventive services, Medicare payments to hospitals, taxes, and much more. https://www.kff.org/health-reform/fact-sheet/potential-impact-of-texas-v-u-s-decision-on-key-provisions-of-the-affordable-care-act/">https://www.kff.org/health-re...

You can’t just click your heels together three times to get insurance companies to guarantee pre-existing condition protections.

It takes strict regulations, plus government spending to make coverage affordable and encourage people who are currently healthy to enroll, too.

27% of non-elderly adults, or 54 million people, have a pre-existing condition that would have led to a denial of individual insurance before the Affordable Care Act. https://www.kff.org/health-reform/issue-brief/pre-existing-condition-prevalence-for-individuals-and-families/">https://www.kff.org/health-re...
