This press release from legal brothel businesses in Nevada just shows you how bad the GOP Healthcare bill really is:
Licensed prostitutes in Nevada are banding together as “Hookers For Health Care” to oppose President Trump’s impending health care legislation, that they say will have a devastating effect on working girls and their families, and result in millions of their courtesan colleagues losing their current medical coverage.
Nevada is the only state in the US that permits legal prostitution in a number of rurally-located brothels. All of the women working in the licensed brothels do so as independent contractors–therefore they are responsible for getting their own health care coverage. After ObamaCare (Affordable Care Act) was passed several years ago, thousands of prostitutes nationwide were for the first time able to obtain affordable health care insurance for themselves and their families. Now that ObamaCare is on the verge of being repealed by the US Senate, and replaced with a radically-different plan labeled TrumpCare (American Health Care Act), US hookers are outraged and going on a political offensive with “Hookers For Health Care”–lobbying politicians, protesting in the streets, and waging battle on social media to stop the Republican effort.
Alice Little, a 27 year-old legal working girl from Dennis Hof’s Sagebrush Ranch brothel (www.SagebrushRanch.com) near Carson City, Nevada, is spearheading the anti-TrumpCare “Hookers For Health Care” drive, which has already seen hundreds of her fellow hookers sign up to save their health care coverage.
“Hundreds of thousands, and maybe millions, of sex workers in the US will lose their health care coverage if the TrumpCare bill passes, and even more will be adversely affected as a result of the legislation,” Little said. “This includes Nevada’s most unique and vulnerable demographic–the thousands of licensed working girls who ply their trade in the only state where prostitution is legal, but are classified as independent contractors, we are at the mercy of the health care marketplace, to obtain our own insurance. We are now united as one, ‘Hookers For Health Care,’ to keep our current health care options, and protest ourselves and our families.”
Little, who last year was crowned “Hooker Of The Year” for the seven brothels including the world famous Moonlite Bunny Ranch (www.BunnyRanch.com) owned by bordello baron Hof, posted her concerns on the company blog, listing three reasons why she feels TrumpCare will have horrific results for Nevada’s legal sex industry. She suggests that cuts to Medicaid could severely reduce a woman’s opportunity to thrive in the Nevada prostitution industry.
