I was surprised to see this. Eight states allow a Health Insurance program to deny coverage to someone who has been a victim of domestic violence. Even years after the incident, following divorce, etc. It make's sense from a purely mathmetical stand point. Such a person is more likely to end up in the emergency room, etc. This cannot be justified from a ethical stand point. Another example of how the insurance companies can "cherry pick" their clients to limit their exposure.
Here's the article:
