Woman loses coverage because she was raped

Hi All,
This is a really sad interview conducted by Anderson Cooper on a woman who was raped and who lost her insurance coverage because of it. She needed to follow standard procedure of taking anti-HIV medications for a month after her rape and ended up getting dropped from her coverage. It'll be interesting to hear what you have to say.

and this was a woman who spent 27 years in the insurance industry. wow. if anyone, she would have been the one with the knowledge for how to best handle this situation. but i guess there weren't too many options anyhow. here's the link to the website she mentioned: http://www.awomanisnotapreexistingcondition.com/
