"Brian Thompson was never satisfied with the Status Quo."

Yeah clearly he wanted something closer to Handmaiden's Tale

Fuck UHC. I hope you’re doing better. If so consider getting a lawyer and/or going to the newspaper if you think you can do it.

No one should have to pay for that. No one.

Just because it is legal, doesn't mean it isn't punishable.

Conversely, just because murder is illegal... doesn't mean it's always wrong.

If you kill a man in the heat of battle you’re a hero. If you kill a man in the heat of passion you’re a murderer.

Clearly, being a woman is a pre-existing condition.

ಠ_ಠ

Things like pregnancy or being a domestic violence victim were considered valid preexisting conditions until they passed Obamacare

Republicans: “A woman’s job in life is to be pregnant.”

Public: “Ok so you’ll offer support for them, yea?”

Republicans: “Absolutely fucking not lol”

How long until Americans make being alive a pre-existing condition

That's technically better than what we have now. All we get is a single jackass deciding whether we die or not.

  1. Rape kits aren't free? I figured that because it was a response to a criminal action it counted as more legal than medical... guess you learn something new every day...

  2. BEING RAPED IS A FUCKING ELECTIVE PROCEDURE!?!?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!?!?!

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When I applied for a driver's license in Texas, they had a list of things that I could choose to pay extra for, one of which was donating money towards testing rape kits. It still infuriates that they tried to pass that off of random people.

One of the biggest scams the American Government ever pulled, was claiming that its responsibilities were actually that of the citizens, and that anyone who expects the Government to do anything but wield an iron fist is a "Whiny snowflake looking for a free lunch"

He was basically euthanized by comparison to what he and his company did to people.

He was just the face of the operation - there's a whole board of directors.

So because she likely hasn't the energy to sue, they just lie? Being raped is not an "elective procedure".

"you could have kept the illegitimate product of rape child"

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A rape kit is to collect evidence. It has nothing to do with emergency contraception. The ER can prescribe something like Plan B for that purpose, but it is not something that a "rape kit" does.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Why is law enforcement not paying for it? You know, as part of investigating the crime that took place.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

My first thought was whether this is the real problem. Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, is this process when arranged by police covered, but if you pursue it yourself without charges not covered? I know nothing about this specific scenario but insurance companies love their paperwork and loopholes. If you don’t do their paperwork the way they want, they make sure to have a loophole

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Why would you pursue it by yourself? I'm not trying to sound judgemental with that question but what purpose does it serve other than evidence gathering?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Of course it’s speculation but the article didn’t mention police. If the police weren’t involved maybe it’s as simple as not wanting to pay for a test which might not even serve as evidence.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

What's the point of getting the kit done at all if the police aren't involved? Isn't that what they're for? To collect evidence of the crime.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And what do you think evidence gathering might lead to?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Well if everything in our justice system worked as intended it should lead to a criminal prosecution. Which is why law enforcement should be paying for it. Expecting the victim to do so is asinine.

Holy shit, what a fucking nightmare

If wishes alone could kill, there wouldn't be a single health insurance executive alive within 24 hours.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago (10 children)

I say just don't pay it. Let them threaten you all they want, they can't put you into collections for medical debt. Throw out their letters, block their collection numbers from calling you, don't give those slime balls a fucking penny.
