Under Trumpcare plan, rape would be considered a pre-existing condition
Posted By: Nathan Wellman May 3, 2017

Republican legislators’ recent attempts at passing healthcare legislation has consistently penalized the poor and the elderly, but their latest incarnation will add a new target to the list: rape victims.

The bill’s MacArthur Meadows Amendment would allow states to permit insurance companies to deny coverage to those with pre-existing conditions. Bizarrely, the term “pre-existing condition” applies to sexual assault, postpartum depression, C-sections, and victims of domestic violence.

1. I really don't understand how anyone votes for this with these things being in there...

...I mean, I get it since I've observed Republicans actions over the past 17 years, but wrapping my brain around it hurts. So stupid, harsh, mean-spirited, and morally deplorable.

3. Republicans are libertarian scumbags who hate anyone that isn't rich

They are terrorists in suits and ties.

Their Republican Randian religion is to oppress and destroy anyone that isn't rich.

A pox on them.
