Boomer with Attitude / News Burr voted to deny insurance to domestic abuse victims
Posted By John Grooms on Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 11:51 AM
We told you yesterday that North Carolina is one of only eight states that allow health insurance companies to classify domestic violence as a “pre-existing condition.” Well, guess who helped kill an attempt to change that horrendous situation? That would be North Carolina’s own U.S. Sen. Richard Burr. In 2006, Burr and nine other GOP senators voted against an amendment to an insurance bill that would have told health insurance companies they could not deny coverage to women because of domestic abuse.

As the political blog BlueNC puts it today, “If that doesn’t make Burr beatable in 2010, I don’t know what does.”
