Christina Turner feared that she might have been sexually assaulted after two men slipped her a knockout drug. She thought she was taking proper precautions when her doctor prescribed a month’s worth of anti-AIDS medicine.
Only later did she learn that she had made herself all but uninsurable.
Turner had let the men buy her drinks at a bar in Fort Lauderdale. The next thing she knew, she said, she was lying on a roadside with cuts and bruises that indicated she had been raped. She never developed an HIV infection. But months later, when she lost her health insurance and sought new coverage, she ran into a problem.
Turner, 45, who used to be a health insurance underwriter herself, said the insurance companies examined her health records. Even after she explained the assault, the insurers would not sell her a policy because the HIV medication raised too many health questions. They told her they might reconsider in three or more years if she could prove that she was still AIDS-free.
#59, Alphie, my adopted brother,
We all hoped that with age you would mature some. You didn’t. Just like everything else in life, you failed. You failed kindergarden, you failed grade 1, you failed grade 2, you failed grade 3, …. You even even got an F- in recess because all your excess saliva would make the stones and dirt stick to your face.
While you like to parrot other retards, no one intelligent likes to hear the bullshit. Alfred, you are supposed to be smarter than this. That remedial education course got you up to a grade 6 reading level. Now try thinking at the grade 6 level, we know you can do it. You aren’t a toddler anymore.
Please stop embarrassing our family. People are unfairly equating us with YOU.
#57 No, LL, I don’t say stupid inflammatory things to piss other people off, like Faxon the poop flinger. I just don’t have any respect for libertarians. And I’ll only argue with one if I’m really bored.
#62, It’s what it sounds like to me. It’s easier to insult than it is to communicate.
I guess you get it from the Obamessiah. Instead of listening, he is accusing.
It is easier to blame the company than the planners.

It’s sad when you have to get your real news from a Russian blog.
#63 OK, LL, I’m bored. Communicate? Communicate? It’s impossible to communicate with ideologues who, no matter what the problem is, bleat “the free market will take care of that!” When you signed on to be a libertarian, you didn’t have to think any more. You just have to chant “free market, free market.”
On the other hand, us adults out here in the real world acknowledge that there are some things that government does better and some things that the free market does better. People may have different ideas about which should do what, and that’s worth talking about.
But you guys… it’s like arguing with a post. It’s ironic that you have more in common with the Communists that you hate so much than you do with the rest of us — you both have your ideology that you refuse to accommodate to reality. And that makes you irrelevant at best, useful dupes for the big corporations at worst.
#64, Loser,
It’s sad when you have to get your real news from a Russian blog.
You get your news from a Russian blog? Geeze, that is funny. Hilarious. A blog. Fucking retarded Liebertarian humor. A blog. Now that is rich. Oh Christ Almighty riding a pogo stick, my sides are hurting. A blog.
The sad part is you admit to it. The scary part is, I’m convinced you actually do.
#65, So, tell us why every country who has ever tried socialism or any other collective state has failed.
It really is a shame you won’t listen. This country wouldn’t be in the shape it is in now nor would it be headed for worse shape.
Wake up. Look for another solution what what has been tried for the last 100 years.
#66, There you are!
I was wondering where you were hiding after I answered your challenge.
So, have you an answer yet or just more insults?
#67 Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Turkey, Poland, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Greece, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Portugal, etc., etc. All failed states in your world.
Gosh, life must be so much easier when you can ignore reality so well.
#69, Ask yourself why they had to go to a different currency! They had already destroyed theirs through central planning.
And ask yourself why we have to defend them. Why can’t they afford their own military?
