  • I wasn't either @kerrideeRN nice bump
  • I'd just like to give ya'll my stats so that if anyone feels like being rude they can go ahead and reference this post..
    I am a young caucasian female, I just began my residency as a doctor in womens medicine which means i have a high level of education, I am unmarried and plan to remain that way for the foreseeable future, I also have an inoperable, incurable, untreatable genetic heart condition and I am on medicaid. I had a policy through blue cross blue shield that will end in June of this year. When I became pregnant they told me they would not be covering my pregnancy - I've tried everything and been through the wringer on this ladies. There are literally no other options for me, even if I wasn't in outrageous amounts of debt due to student loans I would not have the option to apply for a an insurance policy because of my pregnancy and heart condition.
    The stereotypes only amount to a small percentage of statistics - like everything.
  • oh, and, I can apply for my own policy once baby is here.. but in the mean time, I am thankful for state provided insurance.
  • I owe 50,000 in student loans I feel u @lilbun915
  • 50k is nothing. Wish we had that little. :)

  • Everyone needs assistance sometimes! I have been paying out of pocket fir my ob care. But i can no longer work due to high blood pressure. I recently applied for medicaid to help since i wont be able to work until after the baby comes.
