A day after the news broke that Assurant Health Insurance would no longer cover the drug Truvada as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent contracting HIV, the company has reversed that decision.
Mary Hinderliter, Assurant Health vice president of communications emailed LGBT Weekly today with the following statement, “We are reversing our decision and will be reaching out to policyholders who received the letter.”
The insurer had originally notified a number of customers by letter that it would end coverage of the med in July.
LGBT Weekly will update this story as more information becomes available.
This is WEAK SAUCE!! You need to announce and cover the story that ASSURANT HAD INTERNAL HIGHEST LEVEL MANAGEMENT MEETINGS AND DECIDED TO TARGET POLICY HOLDERS WITH HIV/AIDS AND CANCEL THEIR POLICIES!!!
Why wasn’t their license pulled in every state???!!! Why didn’t AGs prosecute them for fraudulent business practices and intentionally harming indiciduals based on the state of their health??!!! WHY WEREN’T EXECUTIVES AT ASSURANT WHO MADE THIS HEINOUS DECISION PROSECUTED FOR HATE CRIMES???!!!
I hope you’ll pick this up and expose it as i never saw anything in the press about it…..at least very little!!
