Women W/Displaced IUD Refused Treatment By Dr. In Catholic Affiliated Health Plan.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Per Raw Story even if you have insurance as a woman and come up with a reproductive emergency doctors affiliated with Catholic hospitals are not allowed to treat patients where it would violate Catholic beliefs. The woman had to change coverage to get treatment. And it took five days and that delay could have cost her her life and future fertility.

So if you are a woman you will have to check if your insurance is connected to a religious hospital or institution. Even non Catholic doctors who are under such affiliation are not allowed to treat patients regarding reproduction issues if it violates the Catholic religion.

That means any kind of sterilization, birth control or other family planning procedures are forbidden. The problem is that Catholic institutions are infiltrating the health care system and are denying patient care that violates the Catholic religion. Even non believers in Catholicism must abide by their rules.

2. Religious Institutions Invading Health Care System.

It looks like religious entities could be conspiring to monopolize the hospital and health care system. It would be a back door way of ending reproductive health care services that violate religious dogma. Such an environment means the end of access to family planning, sterilization, abortion,birth control etc. Only approved methods would be ok. That means a return to the dogma of no intervention.

The fundamental law on the religious side is that you cannot tamper with reproduction in any way. And as an individual you cannot do anything about reproduction except let nature take its course. In the end that means that women cannot be treated for problem pregnancies until the 11th hour. And in some cases a woman's live cannot be saved.

The problem with religious hospitals is being ignored.

6. Yes! Does anyone think for one effing minute..

4. This is so...

7. It's high time for state accreditation boards and JCAHO to step in

and tell these pious patriarchs they can either adhere to the standard of care of get the hell out of the business.

This is ridiculous. Catholic "hospitals" need to hang signs out specifying they are for males, only, since they find women so icky.

[SunSeeker]

8. Exactly. Yank their accreditation--they do not meet the standard of care.

Hell, they don't offer any care, let alone standard care.

[AllyCat]

10. I like this. Substandard care. No credentials.

9. She could have died from peritonitis from a perforated uterus This pricks should be brought up

on charges of criminal negligence and willful endangerment

And here medical underwriting licenses taken away for fucking ever

[EL34x4]

11. Name of hospital? Name of doctor?

A little research tells me that plenty of catholic hospitals would've performed this procedure.

Sorry, but this story is pinging my BS detector.

13. I can barely express how much this shit pisses me off.

(CNN)A man has been arrested in the stabbing deaths of two nuns whose bodies were found in their home in rural Mississippi, authorities said.
Margaret Held and Paula Merrill, both nurse practitioners, failed to show up for work Thursday at a clinic in Lexington, where they served one of the state's poorest counties.

Authorities believe the killer took the victims' car, a blue Toyota Corolla, which was later found on an abandoned road less than a mile from their home. But nothing was taken from the house, according to a law enforcement official who has been briefed on the investigation. http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/27/us/man-arrested-in-killing-of-mississippi-nuns/
