Fantastiskt, uppenbarligen kan amerikanska försäkringsbolag neka utbetalningar för behandling om en person blivit våldtagen. Det låter ju... bra.

"A 38-year-old woman in Ithaca, N.Y., said she was raped last year and then penalized by insurers because in giving her medical history she mentioned an assault she suffered in college 17 years earlier. The woman, Kimberly Fallon, told a nurse about the previous attack and months later, her doctor's office sent her a bill for treatment. 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."

Fallon says she now has trouble getting coverage for gynecological exams. To avoid the hassle of fighting with her insurance company, she goes to Planned Parenthood instead and pays out of pocket."

Edit: en kommentar från Ugly Man @ RPG.net

"Every story about U.S Insurance gets me laughing, but not in a 'wow, funny' sort of way. More in an uncomfortable, surreal way. It's like Insurance is handled by Snidely Whiplash, and after he sits behind his jet-black desk and signs his jet-black contracts of doom, he goes home in a hearse to spend the night kicking Little Orphan Timmy in the nuts. It's the kind of evil you'd laugh out loud at, if it was a movie. But it isn't, and that frightens me."

wtf. sjuka jävla idiotjänkare.
