RAPE, POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION, C-SECTIONS, AND SURVIVING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WILL BE “PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS” UNDER TRUMP’S PROPOSED HEALTHCARE REFORM
THIS WILL MAKE RAPE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DE FACTO LEGAL, IF YOU REPORT RAPE OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE YOU WILL RISK LOSING YOUR INSURANCE!! THIS LAW WILL HELP PROTECT RAPISTS!!
I think I’ve reblogged like 4 different versions of this but I don’t care. This is despicable and it needs to be stopped. Give them hell.
So yeah.
heartburn is on this list, guys. and it passed in the House with 4 votes.
CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW.
This has a nasty side effect of discouraging the mentally ill from seeking any kind of care for their illness because whoops, if you see a doctor for depression, you might lose access to all your healthcare.
Sharing this here because being fat is on the list (obesity). But holy shit, disabled and mentally ill people can lose their insurance based on those conditions? How is that legal?

so normally i wouldnt reblog something like this w a comment outside of tags but like. i didn’t believe this at first, or, i didn’t want to. so i did research. several trusted sources back this information up. i wanted to believe the list of pre-existing conditions was fake, but it is, again, backed up by several other trustworthy sources.
i feel sick. i can’t believe this is happening. i checked multiple sources to try to understand it better and maybe like see why people would want this and my conclusion? they just don’t care about us. not just that, it hurts some of THEM too. the only fucking reason i find justification for this is if you don’t suffer from anything. this directly benefits people who don’t suffer from these things as well as directly hurts people who DO suffer from these things.
i really REALLY didn’t want to have to deal with the fact that this is, in fact, VERY REAL. but uh, hey, it is? and its going to kill so many fucking people? people really enjoy distancing themselves from politics and saying this shit doesnt matter but like more than half of my friends suffer from at least one condition on that list. to read my own conditions on there just made my heart sink. it like hurts how hard i wanted this to be fake. but it’s real. it’s so real and i’m so scared.
It it helps, it’s not law yet. The House passed it, but the Senate has to pass it too for it to be law, and from what I hear, the Senate isn’t eager to do so.
Now is the time to be calling Senators and sending emails and demanding they don’t pass this, to protest, to raise hell. It’s not entirely hopeless yet.
But yes, it’s sickening. The fact that anyone could ever think this is okay is beyond disgusting. I couldn’t begin to express how horrible this is.
There are tons of people in my family who could be hurt by this. I could be hurt by this. I have tons of those conditions listed.
And I’m terrified.
But don’t panic yet. The Senate hasn’t voted. We have time.
So if you can, take action. And if you can’t, then try to stay strong until we know what the Senate does.
And if anyone needs someone to talk to, I’m here.
This bill is misogynistic, ableist, fatphobic, and classist. It is unacceptable and we can’t stand for it.
