Apparently not. How else would you try to discern how many people in the US have a pre-existing condition? A door-to-door survey that's invalid without a 100% response rate?
Pretty foolish and expensive study design. We can (and on a daily basis do) do better than that.

well the first major issue is segregating PECs
100% of everyone has a PEC if you define it broadly enough
the PECs that create possible policy responses affect a very small portion of society (given our framework pre-ACA)
