Raped? Don't bother applying for health insurance.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Christina Turner feared that she might have been sexually assaulted after two men slipped her a knockout drug. She thought she was taking proper precautions when her doctor prescribed a month's worth of anti-AIDS medicine.

Only later did she learn that she had made herself all but uninsurable.

Turner had let the men buy her drinks at a bar in Fort Lauderdale. The next thing she knew, she said, she was lying on a roadside with cuts and bruises that indicated she had been raped. She never developed an HIV infection. But months later, when she lost her health insurance and sought new coverage, she ran into a problem.

Turner, 45, who used to be a health insurance underwriter herself, said the insurance companies examined her health records. Even after she explained the assault, the insurers would not sell her a policy because the HIV medication raised too many health questions. They told her they might reconsider in three or more years if she could prove that she was still AIDS-free.

And the problem here is......what? She wasn't prescribed all these drugs for no reason. There was clearly a very high risk that she may have contracted the virus whilst she was engaged in some risky behaviors.

Back to topic: this decision by the insurance company is equal to backtracking the law for decades... because SHE was, after all, drinking and being s lut, probably wearing a miniskirt, hencee she asked for it. I hope she sues their azzes.
