Republican Senate hopeful Martha McSally lies about her pre-existing condition record
https://thinkprogress.org/arizona-senate-martha-mcsally-lies-pre-existing-conditions-71d974ab3df9/
"Rep. Martha McSally (R), her party’s nominee for the open U.S. Senate seat in Arizona, was a staunch supporter of the Trumpcare legislation to repeal Obamacare, literally telling her Republican House colleagues that they needed to get the “f**king thing” done. Now that she is under fire for her vote for the wildly unpopular legislation, she is simply lying to her constituents and pretending that the bill would not have eliminated insurance protections for the more than 100 million Americans with pre-existing medical conditions."

"Then Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-N.J.) came along. The New Jersey Republican, still eager to repeal “Obamacare,” started talking to Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), who leads the far-right House Freedom Caucus, about an agreement that could generate enough GOP votes to pass. The solution was MacArthur agreeing to gut protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions."

Paul Ryan Admits Pre-Existing Conditions Exclusions Would Come Back After GOP Repeals ACA
"And this is reason number umpty-zillion why it's imperative that we toss these jerks out of office forever. He really believes this, and saying it aloud should be political suicide. It should be as disastrous as saying he wants to cut Medicare. But those "shoulds" only become reality if people show up to vote."

SURVEY: Americans Still Don’t Know About Obamacare’s Biggest Consumer Protections
www.thinkprogress.org/health/2014/01/30/3229051/americans-know-obamacare/
"The poll finds that the vast majority of Americans (about 62 percent) think that only “some” parts of the Affordable Care Act have gone into effect, even though most of its major provisions became a reality on January 1. Nearly ten percent don’t think any of it has gone into effect at all. And large shares of Americans — particularly the uninsured — don’t even know that the law contains popular provisions such as prohibiting insurers from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions and an optional expansion of Medicaid"

Americans Can Now Start Using Their New Obamacare Coverage
www.thinkprogress.org/health/2014/01/02/3110271/americans-obamacare-coverage-january/
"Insurers are no longer allowed to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions, or charge sick Americans higher prices than their healthier counterparts. And now, the Americans who have enrolled in new plans under Obamacare — either by picking a private plan on the state-level marketplaces, or by qualifying for Medicaid in the states that agreed to expand the program — may start using that coverage."
