Well since there was no actual rate of denial given we don't know how comon it is random thoughts Send a noteboard - 16/09/2009 03:03:14 PM
With the staggering number of woman in the country who suffer from domestic abuse denying medical insurance for it must not be that common or we would be hearing a lot more about it.

I suspect that it is only done in extreme case where a woman ends up in the ER over and over again but since the point of the article was to talk about how evil republicans are (despite the fact that in three years democrats haven't corrected it) I guess such things were considered unimportant.

If you want to link a real news source then it is worth looking into random thoughts - 16/09/2009 02:33:32 PM 322 Views
Umm....if the person is still in that relationship, then it seems like a pretty smart practice to me Brian - 15/09/2009 11:34:00 PM 349 Views
I had that thought at first too, nossy - 16/09/2009 12:03:58 AM 360 Views

Do you have any idea how insurance works? Brian - 16/09/2009 06:12:10 AM 311 Views
Yes, I do know how insurance works. Using that as an excuse for denial is still unethical and sick. *NM* everynametaken - 16/09/2009 06:58:36 PM 137 Views
