Whoa, back up the short bus, something I missed the first time around.
Domestic violence as a pre-existing condition? RAPE as a pre-existing condition?
Since when is being the victim of a violent crime a medical condition? Is this for real?
Health insurers have issued guidelines saying they could deny coverage to people suffering from such conditions as acne, hemorrhoids and bunions.
Uninsurable conditions included pregnancy, and being an "expectant father" was grounds for "automatic rejection." So was having received "therapy/counseling" within six months of the application. There was also this more general disqualifier: "currently experiencing/experienced within the last 12 months symptoms for which a physician has not been consulted."
One big insurer refused to issue individual policies to police officers and firefighters, along with people in other hazardous occupations.
Some treated pregnancy or the intention to adopt as a reason for rejection.
Incorrect. I said Health Care being too costly is a fair argument.Another reason why Government has no place in our Heath Care choices.The FDA recently decided that Avastin was no longer approved for treating women with advanced breast cancer.
And now Medicare has stopped covering the drug in some states.
It's quite easy to connect the dots.

What numbers are people supposed to respond to? The 50 million numbers is about 19% of the US population, yet you also say that 50% of the population has a preexisting condition. It is a little confusing when the bullshit you post contradicts itself.
I'm saying that one shouldn't be surprised if 50% of the population has a preexisting condition.
Insurers Dismiss Administration Claims on Pre-Existing Conditions Barrier - FoxNews.com
You're talking about the lowest number possible of the study between 50 million and 129 million Americans. You seem to think it's 50 million at the most. Nothing is being contradicted here.
The Department of Health and Human Services study, released Tuesday, concludes that somewhere between 50 million and 129 million non-elderly Americans have a pre-existing condition -- the kind of condition insurance companies can use to deny coverage. The study further found that 15-30 percent of people in good health are likely to develop such a condition within eight years.
Absurd. I never heard the term "pre-existing condition" before the Kenyan, Marxist Socialist re-invented Medicine in the first month of his regime following his Coup De' Tat.
Also, he invented all those pathologies. They didn't exist prior to his taking office. Robbin's and Coltran was actually on 15 pages before the Obummer Administration.
In all seriousness, the most egregious "pre-existing" condition I see on there is the "abnormal pap", as a large percentage of women, especially young women, have an abnormal pap smear at some point in their life (followed by a lifetime of normal ones_. It's one reason that it's no longer recommended for women younger than 21 to get a pap smear.
Incorrect. I said we have the best Health Care system in the world (which we do). But nothing can be perfect as it is created by men who are themselves imperfect.

His master plan to take over 1/6 of the economy (by giving the insurance companies even more customers of course) is probably hidden with the real birth certificate!
But in all seriousness, I noticed that too. I have to say, this list of pre-existing conditions makes it seem geared to women not being able to have insurance or at least have the risk of losing it at any time a serious illness comes up.

It's a mental health issue.
victims can use thier insurance to pay to see shrinks and get the meds they need to help them recover.
switch insurance at further risk. We never had much of an issue, but there were a couple times the places we went to had to go to bat for us.

Considering the limitations on mental health coverage in most plans, a particularly traumatic ingrown toenail could cause mental health bennies to get maxed out.
What's really amazing is if a person has been in therapy or counseling, that's already a pre-existing condition and not covered. Illogic runs amok.
Also, the last time I checked, "rape" is not a pathology. I mean, it can lead to certain pathologies, but it's not exactly a "medical condition".
So maybe the term should be changed to "Pre-existing medical condition or life experience".
Eventually we can expand it to include traffic accidents, divorce, and cancellation of of favorite television series.
I mean, those can all cause mental trauma too.

No, I'm not.
One insurance company doesn't control the market and have the FDA at its disposal to decide what is approved and not approved.
ACNE!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
DEEP BREATH
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA
com'on man! Acne is a pre-existing condition?
Well that's how they got to 50%
I'm 43 and still get some acne.
Absurd, isn't it? Hence why this problem needed a solution.

It's like they want obama care
well
Insurance companies do. The mandate will be a boom for them. And they can go right back to fighting to not pay the bills.
Exactly! This health reform is the best thing to happen to Insurance companies.
LOL, Avastin was proven to be not effective for that indication. What's the issue? I don't see how this means the FDA is overseeing individual patient outcomes. LOL.
A decision by WellPoint Inc. and other insurers to keep paying for Avastin in breast cancer may help Roche Holding AG avoid a $1 billion drop in sales after U.S. regulators said the drug doesnt treat the disease. WellPoint, UnitedHealth Group Inc., Aetna Inc. and Humana Inc. say theyll keep covering Avastin based on a recommendation by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. The nonprofit alliance of oncologists, some of whom have disclosed financial ties to Roche, says it plans to keep recommending use of Avastin in breast cancer based on the current data.
