    Damnit, Oliver, I was going to link that as #5 on my list. Ah well, I guess I can still count it.

    “Our poll says 100 percent of people support insurance companies calling rape a pre-existing condition”-Scott Rasmussen

  3. This is precisely the sort of sage, altruistic policy GOP reps have been working so vigorously to protect for their hapless insurance company buddies.

    They must be so proud.

    I’ve noticed that the pre-existing condition policy that these insurance companies have affect women more than men.

    A C-section, pregnancy (period), rape, spousal abuse, and plus the many family illnesses pass on to you.

    Hell being a women is a pre-existing condition.

  5. Sean D. Martin says:

    She said she was informed by a nurse and, later, the hospital’s billing department that her health insurance company, Blue Cross Blue Shield, not only had declined payment for the rape exam, but also would not pay for therapy or medication for trauma because she “had been raped before.”

    Waiting for someone on the right to tell us why no insurance reform is needed.

    Anyone? Anyone?

    I am shocked–SHOCKED!–to find that this comment section hasn’t exploded with conservative trolling.

    Can it be, Spider J, that we have finally found something that can shame even them?

      Nah, they’re just worried if they comment it’ll somehow be used against them. They’re all for these restrictions, believe you me (cuz a woman that was raped obviously was asking for it with their flagrant immorality)
