Are there any health insurance plans for me?


Question:
im pregnant and dont have health insurance. are there any health insurance plans that will cover me. i know about the government assistance but i think i make too much money to qualify and dont make enough to pay for all the hospital bills that will come. and before i get the "if you cant afford a baby then you shouldnt have one" responses, i can afford to support and baby but dont have 10's of thousands of dollars to pay to have one

Answer:
Hate to tell you this but if you can't afford to have a baby then you can't afford to support one becuase part of supporting a baby is being able to pay for the medical care that comes with having a baby...that includes HAVING the baby. WHERE is the father of this poor little life and WHY isn't HE paying for part of the birth? As for insrance, only one I know of is the Government, and health insurances supplied by one's employer. If you couldn't afford the cost of giving birth why did you spread your legs?
It might be very hard for you to find a health plan that will cover maternity especially because you are currently pregnant.
I would check into the state assisted medicaid or CHP Plus, we have that in Colorado I am not sure if that is a nation wide program. You can also look into midwife services. They can often treat you for a lower amount and don't be scared off by them by thinking they only offer natural birth options. Speak with one in your area about your options. I would check into state programs and rule those out before looking into health plans. I am a married mother of two looking for individual coverage for my kids and I because my husband's coverage is around 800 a month to add the three of us. I have not run across any plan that covers maternity.

Good luck and congrats!


Colleen, you have 20K sitting around to have a baby or financially provide for any medical hospital bill? I would doubt many people have a savings account set up with that kind of cash in it should they have a baby or get in a car wreck. She wanted assistance, not an answer that would put her down for her choice to start a family.
