Pregnancy And Insurance ?'s Posted: 09-13-04 12:03pm
Hello everyone....My husband and I would
like to start trying in the next year to
become pregnant. But there is one little
problem. Neither one of us has insurance
that would cover a pregnancy. We are
middle class (whatever that means) so we
do not qualify for any type of gov't
programs. We both have individual health
insurance policies because we work for
small businesses that cant afford the high
cost of group policies. Are there any
other options out there, that could help
defray the cost of all the medical bills.
Changing jobs is not an option for
neither one of us (suggested by a family
member). Also we are both 30 years old
so holding out a few more years with the
hopes of some insurance reform is also out
of the question as my mother started
menopause at 35 years old and several of
my cousins have experienced the same. I
am not willing to take a chance of waiting
until then and then it being too late!
Thanks...

Would it be possible to get pregnancy
coverage added to one of your
policies??Maybe offer to pay the
difference in cost.Could be a lot of
money,but a normal pregnancy,without
complications can run about 12-16,000
dollars!!!Patty
