      Paul Ryan got this wrong. It's not 8% but 27% of those <65 who are uninsurable due to a pre-existing condition. You know some of them.https://twitter.com/Atul_Gawande/status/809146332531269634 …

      What do these #'s mean? Are/were 27%, or even 8%, before age 65 so sick as to be uninsurable? Do I miss something? An MD.

          How Many ObamaCare Patients Have Pre-Existing Conditions? WSJ: it's still a numbers game. 133M vs 500K? Quite a disparity.
