By getting 'these bills, they’re being told they’re responsible for what happened, when they’re not,” researcher and abortion provider Sam Dickman said.
rape costs victims more than any other crime, with total estimated costs reaching $127 billion per year. Years after experiencing abuse, women have health care costs that are 19% higher than costs for women who haven’t been abused.
Samuel Dickman, one of the researchers and an abortion provider who’s worked with a number of patients who have survived sexual violence, told Jezebel a high medical bill in itself can be retraumatizing. “They’re victimized when they’re assaulted, and then, essentially, by being asked to pay these bills, they’re being told they’re responsible for what happened, when they’re not,” Dickman said.
“Our medical system has just utterly failed to protect them financially. They’re put in that position, with no choice but to pay hundreds, sometimes thousands, out-of-pocket for essential care,” Dickman said.This doctor-directed treatment costs thousands less than braces, and is done entirely from the comfort of your own home. The process starts with teeth impressions, and after that, doctors formulate the best plan of action for your smile.
