The Washington Post awarded four Pinocchios to a Democrat Senator’s unfounded claim that as a result of the American Health Care Act – the bill to repeal and replace Obamacare – millions of Americans with preexisting conditions “could be denied coverage.”

From The Washington Post:

Kamala D. Harris’s claim that 129 million people with preexisting conditions ‘could be denied coverage’

Update: We were so focused on fact-checking the “129 million” number that we neglected to consider the second part of her statement — that these people “could be denied coverage.” The problem is that the AHCA does not change the ACA’s guarantee of coverage. The rule for debating the amendment actually included a line to clarify any possible ambiguity —  that “nothing in this Act shall be construed as permitting health insurance issuers to limit access to health coverage for individuals with preexisting conditions.”
