Now sure how I missed this for an entire month. CNN can this shit, claiming what the title says. Hell, their own title of the article states that about rape & domestic violence. Of course that's not true AND they still have the article up there. It's simply not as they write it. It's a way that insurance companies used to classify things. Notice I said used to. If anything, this was under Obama, but even then it's not true if you simply read, and don't want to live off of lies and rhetoric. CNN sucks anymore. It started reading on another article which points it all out

A headline on CNN.com from early May read, “Rape and domestic violence could be pre-existing conditions.” (http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/04/health/pre-existing-condition-rape-domestic-violence-insurance/index.html) CNN argued that the American Health Care Act (AHCA) could make sexual assault a pre-existing condition, preventing women who survive rape from getting health care.

This claim was contested by many fact checkers.

The Washington Post posted an article on its “Fact Checker” blog saying, “Despite critics’ claims, the GOP health bill doesn’t classify rape or sexual assault as a preexisting condition.” (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/05/06/no-the-gop-health-bill-doesnt-classify-rape-or-sexual-assault-as-a-preexisting-condition/?utm_term=.74bf70f7921e)

Polifact, which has previously displayed some liberal-leaning bias (http://dailycaller.com/2017/04/05/flashback-politifact-said-mostly-true-that-obama-admin-got-all-chemical-weapons-out-of-syria/), said the claim that “[u]nder the House Republican health plan, sexual assault is a pre-existing condition” was “misleading” and “mostly false.” (http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2017/may/05/blog-posting/headlines-say-gop-bill-makes-sexual-assault-pre-ex/)

Rape and domestic violence could be pre-existing conditions

(CNN)Jody Neal-Post has been reading about the health care law debate with worry these days.

She's worried about how the new health care law won't carry protections for all people with pre-existing conditions. She is relatively healthy, but before Obamacare, she had a hard time getting insurance because of what some companies considered a pre-existing condition: She is a domestic violence survivor.

Before Obamacare, some insurance companies used to consider medical treatment related to domestic violence and rape a pre-existing condition that would preclude survivors from getting insurance. Some states have banned that practice, but not all. Neal-Post worries that changes in the way insurance companies handle people with pre-existing conditions could hurt her fellow survivors.

"I had really good counseling," Neal-Post said. "So the story of the abuse has now become a fact story for me, rather than an emotional one, but reading about this insurance debate prompted this memory of fighting for insurance that hadn't come to the forefront for me in a long while."

It is a pre-existing condition in Islam, as only the victim has no recourse and the rapist gets no punishment and -- that--pre-existing-condition-- is enforced by Sharia law (for both rape and domestic violence )!!!!!-Tyr
