The majority of people who already had coverage before the Affordable Care Act will be significantly harmed by repeal.

I wonder if it would surprise you to learn that 28 percent more Tennesseans gained coverage under the Affordable Care Act, that is 266,000 people in Tennessee who now have coverage which is a far sight better than the 28,000 you referenced…

In my State, 1.3 million Floridians gained the coverage who did not have it before, the most in the country.
