Thread: Nevada Prostitutes Believe Obamacare Comes None Too Soon

Nevada Prostitutes Believe Obamacare Comes None Too Soon

November 20, 2013 by Sam Rolley

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will be thrilled to learn that, while not many people employed in the fields of “photographer or writer” have come forward to sing the praises of Obamacare, it is very popular among another group of self-employed Americans: Hookers.
“And just think, that you could be a photographer or writer,” Pelosi proclaimed in March, “start your own business, be self-employed, as well as change jobs or start a business and not have to be constrained by whether you had affordable and accessible quality health care.
“That’s what this legislation does,” she said.
According to Nevada’s KRNV-DT, the independent contractors who work as prostitutes at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch are very fond of the Obamacare legislation.
Prostitute Taylor Lee said that on top of her being a sex worker, she had a preexisting condition which also led insurance companies to deny her coverage in the past.
“Having this profession, we aren’t exactly offered group health insurance. It’s hard because I do have a pre-existing condition so I really support Obamacare. I’m excited,” she said.
Another prostitute, Bella Dawn, said that when she pulled out of her previous employment situation to become a legal prostitute, her insurance provider dropped her.
“I switched professions and I wrote it down and they denied it because of the profession I’m in,” she told the news station.
Caressa Kisses, who also works at the Bunny Ranch, agreed that she and her co-workers are hard up for insurance, “They equate us to illegal working girls who have very high STD’s and AIDS rates which we have none of the above. We’re legal, licensed prostitutes.”
Kisses went on to note, “I see the doctor every week because it is state mandated. We’re tested weekly and monthly for blood. We have to be cleared by health professionals and a physician to work in the house.”
Overall, the girls at the Bunny Ranch feel that the President nailed it with his healthcare overhaul.
“I’m very excited about being able to get a health plan now because of Obamacare,” said Amy Page.
Kisses added; “We’re independent contractors. We have to get our own insurance but this is truly a blessing. I hope they work the kinks out and that affordable health care happens for all because it is really needed.”
Their employer on the other hand, believes that the President’s healthcare overhaul is rife with dysfunction.
“I have mixed feelings. I’m glad the girls are going to be able to get affordable healthcare coverage but as a businessman, I’m really concerned,” said Dennis Hof, who owns the Bunny Ranch as well as a number of other brothels, a strip club, restaurants and a truck stop.
He added, “There’s one common thread. I’m the sole stockholder but because I’m the owner for all these different businesses, they lump them together. What am I going to do? I’m either going to have to spend a lot of money on health insurance because the rates are going up or I’m going to have to face severe penalties, so I’m really perplexed about all of this.”
Hof also extended an invitation to the Bunny Ranch to President Obama and noted that he could probably hook the President up with a webmaster who could fix the healthcare website.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Hookers Praise Obamacare: “I Really Support Obamacare… This Is Truly A Blessing”…

Something tells me the White House won’t be touting this Obamacare “success” story.
There have been a number of critics to the Affordable Care Act, but the President’s signature legislation is getting support from an unusual source; working girls at Nevada’s legal brothels.
The girls at Nevada’s “Moonlight Bunny Ranch” say they support the new legislation. “Having this profession, we aren’t exactly offered group health insurance. It’s hard because I do have a pre-existing condition so I really support Obamacare. I’m excited,” says working girl Taylor Lee.
Taylor Lee’s pre-exisiting condition didn’t help, but that wasn’t the only reason she was denied health coverage prior to Obamacare. Before the new law she and the other girls who work at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch said getting health insurance was impossible because carriers refused to cover them because they worked in a legal brothel. Bella Dawn said; “I switched professions and I wrote it down and they denied it because of the profession I’m in.” Caressa Kisses agrees adding; “They equate us to illegal working girls who have very high STD’s and AIDS rates which we have none of the above. We’re legal, licensed prostitutes.
The girls said it didn’t matter to insurance carriers that Nevada’s brothels are highly regulated. Kisses noted; “I see the doctor every week because it is state mandated. We’re tested weekly and monthly for blood. We have to be cleared by health professionals and a physician to work in the house.”
So the new law that allows everyone to obtain a health care plan is very welcome news. “I’m very excited about being able to get a health plan now because of Obamacare,” said Amy Page. Kisses said health coverage is very much needed by working girls; “We’re independent contractors. We have to get our own insurance but this is truly a blessing. I hope they work the kinks out and that affordable health care happens for all because it is really needed.”

‘Hookers for Obama’: Prostitutes Sing Obamacare’s Praises

by Noah Rothman | 2:36 pm, November 22nd, 2013 video

The sex workers in parts of Nevada where prostitution is legal are reportedly thrilled about the Affordable Care Act. According to a report in USA Today, which aired on a local NBC affiliate, legal “hookers” who have a difficult time finding health coverage will have options starting in January to which they would otherwise never have had access.

“The Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, has been touted as a boon to America’s self-employed,” said USA Today reporter George Warren. “That would include the independent contractors here at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch, otherwise known as prostitutes.”
The report features a number of sex workers at the Nevada brothel describing the frustrations they have had getting health coverage. “Usually you’re denied right away,” one prostitute said, “because I’m a working girl.”

“They absolutely equate us to illegal working girls that have very high rates of STDs and AIDS,” another said. “I have the best car insurance in the world, but that’s the only thing that’s covered.”

“It’s truly a miracle,” another said of the ACA.

“I think it’s ‘Hookers for Obama,’” Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof said. “Because they appreciate what he’s done.”

The end of the report, however, notes that Hof called the ACA “a double-edged sword.” He said that while his employees will have easier access to health coverage, he will have to spend $250,000 more per year to cover his non-sex worker employees’ insurance.
