People out there with pre-existing conditions, they are worried.

That's the worry.

Petra Stunt

Thanks to President Obama, being a woman will no longer be a pre-existing condition!

Cecile Richards

The phenomenological world is not the bringing to explicit expression of a pre-existing being, but the laying down of being. Philosophy is not the reflection of a pre-existing truth, but, like art, the act of bringing truth into being.
