1. Before ACA, many patients and doctors were careful on what diagnoses and notes they put in

patients' records to help avoid denials. or premium increases, for pre-existing conditions, or even newly diagnosed conditions. Looks like we are back to that, and some patients will avoid care to keep from getting branded with a pre-existing condition. That's just friggin wrong.

4. I remember this well

and we all should have considered the consequences for our health records -- but who could have planned for a band of psychopaths taking over the process..

6. No joke. We should have demanded their medical records or a recent psychological evaluation.

2. It's going to be really hard for people who have

Obamacare to lose their pre-existing conditions' benefits.

And, to think Obamacare was so maligned by the gop for years but many of their constituents finally found out for themselves how much it has helped.

I hope those who are affected by this will Resist with their Votes in 2020.

3. This is one massive nightmare

Silver lining being 2020. That is if the Senate doesn't pass this mierde. If they do I guess Trump voters will finally figure out that ACA = Obamacare

5. In other words

Most American citizens will be affected. I have several of these conditions/illnesses. The list would be much shorter if they just listed what they WILL cover.
