re: Americans who need insurance for your pregnancy

Quoting Katie & Cassie:“ ReadyToPop....Its more like 15,000 dollars just in hospital bills, not counting your doctor bills. Plus ... [snip!] ... bills if you get an epidural. 500 isn't even close to the cost....you might want to try and get Medicaid real quick!”

How is it 15,000?
I was just going to pay out of pocket for this baby instead of using insurance
and it was only going to cost $4000. Thats hosptial stay, OB appts, ultrasounds, stiches, drugs, ect.

Quoting Ready2Pop:“ I don't have insurance, I'm kind of worried about that. It's like more than 500 dollars just to have a baby I'm guessing.”

Oh my dear child!I think you should have been worried about the cost of having a baby before to got pregnant!It cost more than $500.00!Maybe if you stopped smoking pot you could use that money towards the BILL!
A friend of mine smoked pot while she was preg, and that poor kids has so many breathing problems it is sad!I don't care if you smoke yourself to death but not while having a baby that is just TO SELFISH!!!!!

im not sure how it is in other states .. but in Ohio if you are pregnant you get medicaid no matter what (unless you already have insurance)
i dont see why it would be different in other states.. pregnant women should get the best medical care no matter what!
is it different in other states?
