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…

BEING RAPED IS A FUCKING ELECTIVE PROCEDURE!?!?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!?!?!
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”
That’s just a symptom of the actual greatest scam: making people think the government should be a “them” instead of an “us.”
Its responsibilities are those of the citizens. That’s why the government exists: to regulate, pay for, and administrate those responsibilities.
I’m not sure how old the image is, but I know many states (since this shit only happens in one place, it seems) have made laws requiring rape kits to be paid for by the police, even if you don’t want a report. I don’t exactly remember how it works, but you do have to report the crime to the police, so the hospital paperwork gets handled, but you don’t have to have suffer through the interview of a detective or the DA’s office.
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.
Brian got off easy, yikes.
He was basically euthanized by comparison to what he and his company did to people.
Euthanasia could possibly even be more painful than a well aimed gunshot to the head
well whatever it is, it’s still not covered by UHC since it was an elective procedure.
dude chose to do what eventually killed him. just like smoking, or drugs, or being raped evidently. all according to UHC anyway.
Clearly, being a woman is a pre-existing condition.

Things like pregnancy or being a domestic violence victim were considered valid preexisting conditions until they passed Obamacare
So because she likely hasn’t the energy to sue, they just lie? Being raped is not an “elective procedure”.
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.
Why is law enforcement not paying for it? You know, as part of investigating the crime that took place.
