More than 80% delivering mothers are single because they can not afford health care

Tina
Longview, WA
Heathcare Status: Uninsured

We have at least 80% of all deliveries are born out of wedlock because of lack of healthcare. Our state provide free health care for uninsured mothers to improve the outcome of the babies. Now, it is rare for me to actually assist with the delivery of an insured, married patient. So we are all paying for this care and the families prosper out of wedlock.

Actually, the headache/stress wasn't so much that there was an error as I had to speak with rude humans through out the day trying to get someone to help me! I talked with 4 different people at my insurer during the day at one point asking to speak to a manager after I was told, rudely, that the problem would be fixed by 5 o'clock that day.
