In Trump's America, rape is a pre-existing condition. Under the new health care bill,

rape could be a pre-existing condition. Trump's health care bill allows rape to be a pre-existing

condition. Rape and domestic violence could be pre-existing conditions. These are all real

headlines from mainstream media outlets, New York Magazine, Huffington Post, the Independent from the UK,

and CNN. Under the American Health Care Act, states have the ability to opt out of federal regulations

requiring insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions.

Naturally, the left immediately conjured up images of people injured the most horrifying

possible way, rape, and then suggested that the bill would suddenly leave rape victims

adrift.

Here's New York Magazine, quote, under Obamacare, pre-existing conditions were guaranteed to receive coverage, among them,

sexual assault. The American Health Care Act is going to change that. In addition to rape,

postpartum depression, cesarean sections, and surviving domestic violence are all considered

pre-existing conditions. So let's parse this for a second. According to the leftist media, if you suffer an injury in a terrible situation, the situation itself is now a pre-existing condition. In other words, these headlines could just have easily read, quote, in Trump's America, car crashes are a pre-existing condition. Or, under the new health care bill, soccer accidents, could be a pre-existing condition. The bill itself says that pre-existing conditions are pre-existing conditions.

Nowhere does it give a list of pre-existing conditions, including rape or sexual assault,

because these are activities leading to injury, not actual injuries.

The leftist case here is, as usual, idiotic.

Events are not pre-existing conditions.

Injuries that occur as a result of events, if they occur before you attempt to buy insurance and are definitionally pre-existing conditions. Injuries that occur as a result of events if they occur before

you attempt to buy insurance and are definitionally pre-existing conditions. Duh, but the debate

has now been so skewed that we think the government can magically have health insurance cover

rape, which doesn't even make sense. If no injury occurred requiring medical attention due to a rape,

what would the insurance company do to cover it?
