Study: Repealing Obamacare's pre-existing conditions ban would affect 52 million

About 52 million Americans had health conditions last year that could be considered pre-existing conditions if Obamacare were repealed, according to a new analysis.

While a majority of those Americans would be covered via their job, the analysis from the Kaiser Family Foundation is meant to show the impact of losing the law’s ban on insurers blocking coverage to people with pre-existing health conditions. Kaiser did not have an exact estimate on how many of the 52 million people would be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition on the individual market, which is for people that don’t get coverage through their jobs.
