If I am reading this map correctly, 30% of non-elderly adults in Knoxville have a declinable pre-exisiting health condition.
The share of non-elderly adults with a declinable pre-existing condition ranges from 41% in Kingsport, Tennessee to 20% in Logan, Utah and Rochester, Minnesota. The prevalence of pre-existing conditions can vary by 10% or more between cities in the same state. For example, in Kansas 32% of Topeka’s population has a pre-existing condition, as compared to 21% of Manhattan’s population. Similarly, in
South Carolina 34% of Florence residents have a pre-existing condition, compared to 24% in Charleston or Hilton Head.

Nearly one-third of Tennesseans have pre-existing conditions
Nearly one-third of Tennesseans have pre-existing conditions 'declinable' for health insurance before ACA
Way more
The examples in the story are of rather serious conditions but I was denied based on longterm depression and thyroid conditions which mostly require prescriptions and maintenance. Even the insurance man was surprised he couldn't find me coverage at a reasonable price. I believe life is a pre-existing condition, especially if the insured is a woman.
Don't like Obamacare, but like it one piece at a time
"I don't like the Smith family. But I like each of the family members"
Republicans tried to kill Obamacare. Now they're embracing its most popular part.
