Insurance + Rape: Please Americans, tell me it ain't true. Show more
I just read that "rape as preexisting condition" means that you will not only not get treated for any injuries caused by it - which is horrible by itself - but might also lose your insurence completely (or have to pay more) because of that "preexisting condition". Americans, please tell me that is NOT true. Please. Really. Please.

@trulla Chances are, a rape victim will get treated, because doctors and nurses are not monsters. HOWEVER, the rape victim may have to pay for the treatment out of pocket and also can lose insurance I hope this cleared things up for you.

@jannamark Thanks and sorry, I should have been more clear, with "getting treated" I meant "getting treated with their insurance paying for it". This is so, so horrible, I don't have any words for it. How can anybody agree with or vote for that and still be able to sleep at night? I'm utterly shocked. So there are even more reasons now not to report rape.
