re: TTC on Medicaid. D&D

Quoting Destinite:" Yes, it has gone up dramatically. My DED used top be $500 per person. Now, it's like $1500 per person."

You can thank Obamacare for that.

Quoting Not tellin:" You can thank Obamacare for that."

Oh yes!! For sure.

I'm curious as how people feel with this situation?

My Family is Native American So my daughter and I get free health care (SO has to pay for his) We wouldn't be able to afford private insurance for DD and I because it would be around $200/bi weekly through SO's work. However since we're are Native everything is covered.

Is it (in your opinion) wrong for us to be TTC?

Also what about this scenario?

I had a friend that couldn't afford regular insurance but CA offered a low cost insurance (I think it's called healthy families and cost around 20/month)
I mean it's nowhere near what others pay for their insurance but she is paying something... is it wrong if she decided to TTC? (IYO)

Quoting Red Bottom:" So this came up in another thread yesterday and I figured it's be a good debate. Do you think it's ... [snip!] ... my lack of insurance get in the way of becoming a mother." Do you think that's a valid excuse? Share. Debate. Yada yada yada."

Yep, valid because the way healthcare is run in your country is freakin' ridiculous.

Since I think insurance should be free, I don't think its a big deal. Food stamps and other help, Yeah maybee, But I personally don't like to judge someone else. Its not my place.
