In AHCA sexual assault considered pre-existing condition

According to Raw Story, the bill's recently added MacArthur Meadows Amendment would ditch the ACA's protections for preexisting conditions — sexual assault being one of them.
Under the amendment, states would have the all-clear to waive the ban preventing insurance companies from denying coverage to patients based on preexisting conditions. That means companies can also deny preventive health care services, like mammograms and gynecological exams, to these patients, which sexual assault survivors in particular rely on following an attack.

The attack ads against house R's are going to be epic next year. All for a bill that won't pass the way it is currently written.

I understand gynecological exams being necessary for sexual assault victims but why mammograms?
Also, if you want insurance that will cover those things make sure that you purchase insurance that covers those things prior to the event occurring. If you purchase insurance AFTER you need coverage then it isn't insurance.

So checking breasts for cysts and cancer is now relevant to rape survivors?

The word mammogram does not appear in the National Protocol for Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examinations put out by the USDOJ in April 2013.

Sexual assault is not a medical condition.

Breast exams can easily be found for free.
