The new House health reform bill unveiled Thursday by Speaker Nancy Pelosi has some very, very good news buried inside. Check out Section 107, which once and for all would stop insurers from treating domestic violence as a “pre-existing condition.” and excuse to deny women health coverage. This provision is part of the bill’s larger ban on pre-existing conditions, which stipulates that insurers cannot discriminate based on “health status, medical condition, claims experience, receipt of health care, medical history, genetic information, evidence of insurability, disability, or source of injury (including conditions arising out of acts of domestic violence) or any similar factors.”
