Under New House Health-Care Bill, Rape Is a Preexisting Condition

[Lakhota]

If a man is raped - will he then also have a preexisting condition under Trumpcare?

I believe so. Trumpcare would turn the stomach of any decent person.

Not if he has erectile dysfunction.

Most of those jerks in congress have erectile dysfunction...

Funny and agree! I bet if all of them were raped - rape would no longer be a preexisting condition.

Throws granny out of the nursing homes
Cuts 800 billion out of medicare over the next decade
Cuts Medicaid
Throws 34 million off of health insurance...
Some of these people will be in hospitals or getting treatment...Some of these people will die a very violent death.

This bill is evil and uncivilized.

Did you know that families used to take care of their elders? A very unique idea huh?

My understanding is that people deemed to have preexisting conditions won't be turned away but their premiums will be considerably higher. Senior s too young for MEDICARE could expect up to a 500 to 700% increase in
out of pocket expenses.

That means two things
1. These families will be deep in debt
2. The hospital will be ran out of business

Obama care took care of both of these.

We still have bankruptcy court for excessive debt and hospitals if poorly manage go away and new ones start up, it worked for years.......without giving the insurance and pharmaceutical companies huge racketeering profits.

I don't think the hospitals will run out of business but ER visits will increase. Guess who gets the bill?

Most hospitals have day clinics and do not take non-emergencies into emergency rooms and they were doing this long before ACA.

Domestic abuse survivors and mothers could also see be denied coverage or see their premiums increased under the plan.

When House Republicans passed the American Health Care Act on Thursday, many Americans likely thought of their family and friends living with cancer, diabetes, or heart disease. These diseases are commonly referred to as “pre-existing conditions” – conditions which, under the Republican health care bill, could result in them being denied health insurance.

But another, less publicised group of people were also concerned by the bill's passage: rape survivors.

Before Obamacare, some insurance companies considered rape and domestic abuse pre-existing conditions. One woman, Jody Neal-Post, says she was turned away after telling a potential insurance that she was a domestic violence victim – despite otherwise being perfectly healthy.

Half of the top 16 insurance companies in the US in 1994 admitted they considered domestic violence in factor in determining premiums, and whether or not to deny someone coverage.

Under Obamacare, that changed: The law prohibited employers from denying coverage or racking up premiums for those with pre-existing conditions. It also prohibited insurers from “gender rating,” or charging more for insurance just for being a woman. The number of uninsured women went from 19 per cent to just 8 per cent after it was passed.

The new American Health Care Act, however, contains an amendment allows states to opt out of protections for pre-existing conditions. That means women like Ms Neal-Post could once again find themselves unable to find coverage.

Unbelievable - and unconscionable! This should infuriate all women. Even as a man - I'm infuriated. By definition - rape is not a choice.

/--- If I buy an expensive boat but no insurance then wreck it, can I buy insurance after the fact and have the insurance company fix the damage?The cracked hull is pre existing.

That is a very good point. Now if we go there and go with the direct cause of many health issues out there and lift those protective laws like those in place against suing vaccines manufacturers, get judges in line that will quit protecting monsters like Monsanto and the rest who have sold the public crap that makes them sick we would be getting somewhere.

It is unbelievable because it isn't true.

Despite critics’ claims, the GOP health bill doesn’t classify rape or sexual assault as a preexisting condition

According to liberals it's wrong if you can't insure a house that is already on fire. To that one can only say, they are as clueless about insurance as they are about everything else.

But, would it not be great to have all those false rape accusers to lose their coverage? All those people who claimed Trump raped them (and then magically disappeared after the election).

Absolutely ,,, equality of the genders.

No free Rotator Cuff surgery from all the high-fives.

Aye, aye... But if day clinics do exist in some hospitals, free treatment is not an option.
Someone still has to pay for services rendered. That means millions of poor people without insurance could be triaged
and forced to get substandard care. Further, the bills would be passed on to the taxpayers.

What makes you think that they aren't getting substandard care now? People regardless of wealth or lack of it are getting substandard care throughout. Sorry that is just the way it is and the government isn't going to fix that by gifting more to the insurance and medical communities the way they are going about it.

Back when your presidant London ruled the land anchick we knew in high school for raped by three illegals in Cali to pick fruit. After all that, the powers that be sent her mother an ill for just over a thousand dollars for the rape kit and the 1990 version of anmorning after pill not to mention the preventive STD treatments and counseled. Seeing how that stuff was never funded anyway, it must have been because Bill Clinton being a sex fiend supported rape, and since his wife Hillary helped hide his behavior that she supports rape too. He never even sent the kid annoys telling her she better put some ice on that.

Just another lie.......

 

[Manonthestreet]

None of this is true. Like, not even a little bit. And the fact it's not just being shared by shady social-media activists and their unwitting dupes but by ostensibly-legitimate media outlets is another sad indictment of press standards these days. No, the AHCA Doesn't Make Rape a Preexisting Condition

Unlike Obamacare, it doesn't prevent it from being classified as a preexisting condition, either, which is the point.
