As the House debates the repeal of Obamacare today, we'll hear repetitive mention of 'pre-existing conditions' among the Left (and probably a few on the Right)...however, the following information is unfortunately sure to be left out!
“HHS Wildly Overstates the Problem of Pre-Existing Conditions — and Ignores Its Cause” by Michael F. Cannon

As well as who's the largest denier of health care claims...uh oh:
“AMA Endorses Largest Denier of Health Care Claims” by Patrick Tuohey

"As the House prepares debate on the future of the $1 trillion health care overhaul enacted last year, 200 economists have asked members of Congress to repeal the act." ...better late than never!
“200 Economists Ask Lawmakers to Repeal Obamacare” by Fred Lucas

And here's more details similar to what Paul Ryan has been telling us about the trumped up numbers given to the CBO, but focused more on the 'assumptions':
“CBO Wrong: ObamaCare Repeal Would Not Increase Deficits” by Kathryn Nix

So when repeal passes the House today, Heritage gives us some insight into the procedural movement of the bill to (and through) the Senate...but also warns us, "If the supporters of a full repeal of Obamacare don’t use the Senate’s rules to force a vote on full repeal, don’t take them seriously when they say they really want to repeal President Obama’s de facto government takeover of health care."
Can Obamacare be repealed in the Senate?

UPDATE: At approximately 5pm, every Republican in the House and 3 Democrats voted to REPEAL Obamacare!
