I had great health insurance, but was fired from my job because I had a baby. My choices were: COBRA or another policy.
I plan on having another baby next year. There is NO insurance that will cover pregnancy, which was a $40,000 procedure the last time I gave birth. YES, they say they cover pregnancy, but there is a big BUT: They don't cover it within the first 2 years of your subscription.
I took the cobra. It is fantastic, and covers my pregnancy...BUT BUT BUT.....it costs $400 per month.
This is absolutely horrendous. It should be illegal to refuse to cover a woman's pregnancy, especially if she is paying for her insurance.
Of course, all these super-saver insurance deals have come up, but it doesn't save anything. There are $4,000 deductibles for families. How does that save money, when they already have to pay a monthly premium? My health insurance (for me alone...not my husband or daughter) is almost HALF my income.
Something is seriously wrong.
