129 Million Americans have Pre-existing Conditions

Begin quote from above article:
As many as 129 million Americans under age 65 have medical problems that are red flags for health insurers, according to an analysis that marks the government's first attempt to quantify the number of people at risk of being rejected by insurance companies or paying more for coverage. end quote.

If these 129 million Americans would be dropped by their Health Insurance coverage or (potentially could be dropped at any given moment) it seems pretty ridiculous to repeal or to even try to repeal the Health Care Bill which mandates their coverage. It seems just counterproductive to the needs of most Americans right now and in the future.

So, it seems to me that the real basis of the attempts to kill the health care bill is millions of dollars of bribes from the health care industry itself to prevent the existence of the health care bill. Since the health care industry spent 100 million dollars just to kill Bill and Hillary's bill during his presidency I think this is also the case right now.
