So many stories have come out in the past few weeks about insurance company abuses that it's hard to keep them straight. We thought it was worth highlighting some of the worst offenses that have come to light.

Check out our top five list of recent insurance company abuses:

1. Rape as a pre-existing condition: Women in America have a choice. If they've been raped, they can either go to the emergency room, get the care they need and seek counseling in order to begin the healing process... or they can keep their health insurance.
2. Get sterilized: This is what an insurance company, Golden Rule, told Peggy Robertson, mother of two, after she had a C-section birth. Just keep in mind the fact that over 30% of births in America are performed via C-section.
3. Baby is "too fat": Newborn babies have been denied coverage for being born too large. Today, over 67% of Americans are either overweight or obese. Isn't it nice to see the insurance industry joining the fight to curb obesity at... birth?
4. Baby is "too small": Well you don't want the small babies to feel left out, do you? Even perfectly healthy children, like 2 year-old Aislin Bates, can be denied coverage because an insurer thinks they're "too small."
5. And for everyone else: Just because you're not a woman or baby doesn't mean that the insurance industry has forgotten about you. There are plenty of reasons why you too can be denied care!
