In testimony that Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski called bone-chilling, Colorado mom Peggy Robertson recently shared with a Senate committee the unbelievable story of how a major health insurance carrier refused to insure her and what they suggested she do to make herself eligible for coverage.

In 2007, Robertson was denied coverage by Golden Rule Insurance, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group. In a letter explaining the denial, the company claimed that Robertsons previous C-section made her a financial risk for the company. If she had another C-section within the first three years of coverage, the company would not profit from her policy. It was a risk they werent willing to take and because the Colorado Insurance Division would not allow them to exclude C-section benefits for the first three years, they denied her coverage altogether.

Robertsons story may sound all too familiar, but unfortunately it doesnt end there. In that same letter, Golden Rule went on to suggest what Robertson might do to make herself eligible for coverage: Get sterlized.

That an insurance company would dare to even hint that a healthy woman should be medically sterilized so they can make a profit is, in the words of Senator Mikulski, morally repugnant. But lets face it, women already get the short end of the stick when it comes to health care coverage. Possessing a womb makes us a liability in the eyes of insurers and more than half of them dont even offer maternity coverage. Those who do will often raise the premiums of women who have had C-sections or, as in Robertsons case, refuse to cover them at all.

Of course, women arent the only ones getting a raw deal from profit-driven health insurance companies. Americans are suffering all over under our current system of health care. But when the largest insurance company in the United States feels like they have a right to plan your family to benefit their bottom line, we have a serious problem.

  • 1st Murphy's Law: He who has the gold makes the rules

  • this is just another perfect example of the "big-brother" tactics they are trying to instill, into the societys, we all know why this is happeneing. how many have agreed to be sterilized??? thats the question, some will have just agreed.thats the sad fact

  • Most of you know why this is happening, it has to!

    No one can stop this....I don't care if you believe or not, something inside of you is telling you something is going to happen soon...WHY? You know, you just don't want to face it!!! God be with us all...

  • In about one year's time if the people of the United States do not rise up and reshape their entire country's political, and societal system we will see the ashes of a once great civilization. People will point towards the West and say beware of complacency, your doom will befall you.

  • CEO Stephen Hemsley see's his genetic line as the "choosen ones" and therefore would not allow his line to be sterilized.

    He's probably related to Cass Sunstein at some degree of seperation... along with Dunn, and Hitler, and Chairman Mao of China..

    Keep your lamp filled with oil!

    God Bless

  • Hitler's general Himmler did this in Nazi Germany under the influence of eugenics. I guess history really do repeats itself.

    God bless

  • We live in a sad world but not a sad society.

    Societies are things you have to be a member of. Societies have their own languages. The "Law Society" for instance has "legalese" (do you "understand"?....whenever a cop or a judge asks you that question they are seeing if you're willing to "stand under" them)

    Watch Robert Menard & John James Harris' stuff.

    We were all "born" (don't get me started) into a FUCKED UP world.

  • We live under a luciferian world ran by the Jesuits. Please go watch Devil in the Vatican and you will start to see New World Order under Satan.
