In Trump’s America, Being Sexually Assaulted Could Make Your Health Insurance More Expensive [edited title]

[Jacque67 7,328]

An amendment in the GOP health-care-reform bill will allow states to deny coverage for preexisting conditions, including sexual assault.

Pre-Obamacare rape survivors who sought treatment for their injuries could be denied health care later on. Under Obamacare, preexisting conditions were guaranteed to receive coverage — among them, sexual assault. The American Health Care Act is going to change that.

The new MacArthur-Meadows Amendment will allow states to discriminate based on medical history, reportedly without addressing the subsequent high cost of health care for millions of Americans.

In addition to rape, postpartum depression, cesarean sections, and surviving domestic violence are all considered preexisting conditions. Companies can also deny coverage for gynecological services and mammograms.

Face it. According to MDR mentality, If your husband hits or rapes you, it's because you deserved it or was asking for it. In addition, he is your husband, so as a woman, your job is to submit. And never fear, because we all know that a woman's body shuts down in the event of rape, and it is therefore impossible to get pregnant as a result.

Don't forget, "If it's legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down" - so really, nothing to be worried!

The title of your thread is very misleading "Under new health bill, rape is a pre-existing condition"

 

No it's not, read your own links and the one word in each title is "Could",  your thread is just scare mongering.

 

And as a survivor myself of 13 years of psychical abuse by my ex wife I can guarantee you it's not only hubby that does the hitting. Really it didn't need to be added to the end of your post.

It's a common theme, hence why I tend to ignore their threads. If not misleading, rife full of TMZ and Jerry Springer stuff, attacking Trump's kids. I don't care for sleazy.

Some days I just look at the new threads and like you I give them a wide berth but the topic of this one is just a little to personal for me not to comment.

to the first point:  If the folks who voted for this bill did not get a chance to read it, and the folks who have been pushing repleal and replace for a long long time did not prepare with well thought out language then I don't have a lot of sympathy if they get called out for poor optics or word choices.   AND Why excluded pregnancy under any circumstances let alone violent ones?   What is to be gained by going back to the 1920s in our thinking?

 

to the second point:  I am sorry you were the victim of abuse, of course that will make you more aware and sympathetic to the victim

It's more the way the thread was created with the over the top misleading title that made me comment. I never said I supported it nor would I, as it stands at present the bill will not pass so no need for scare mongering.

What? not going to pass?  Is that why Trump and those congressmen are breaking out the cigars?  This is not really going anywhere?    I am not sure you were around for the real scaremongering that went on with Obama Cares adoption.

I am not in the US just yet, my application is still pending so it will be next year before I arrive. For now I am just trying to get a feel by being active within this section of the forum.

You know this is complete and utter BS right? This has already been proven wrong by numerous sources. But as we all know in CHEST all y'all do is shoot down Trump and the Republicans because you have nothing else better to do. So keep on drinking the koolaid and it will not come true. MAGA
