Or they could purchase insurance, except it costs an unaffordable hundreds or thousands a month because they have health conditions (and still won't cover everything).

Or, they had insurance, but the company retroactively decided they wouldn't cover a condition included in the contract.

Fifty million Americans are uninsured, and it's not because they are too cheap to purchase insurance and cry about the system.

The 700 million medical bankruptcies in this country are mostly from people who have health insurance, but went bankrupt paying for what the insurance wouldn't cover.

We had a broken, unworkable private, for-profit healthcare system, and that has proven to work terribly for everyone but the insurance profit margin.

The ACA has already made it illegal for the insurance company to deny treatment for pre-existing conditions, kick someone off insurance due to lifetime caps, made preventive care more affordable for seniors on Medicare, removed $500 billion in Medicare waste from the system, provided temporary exchanges where the uninsurable can purchase insurance at affordable prices, closed the donut hole for seniors on Medicare and lowered their drug costs, and allowed young adults to remain on insurance policies until they are 26 (rather than having no insurance)

The Republican candidates all say they will repeal the above current law the day they get into office.
How many people live here?
