[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people are certifiable. This poor woman was morbidly obese and had been diagnosed with diabetes before she was 30 years old. She wanted her baby. She did not want an abortion. She told her own mother that if something went wrong with her pregnancy, to save the life of her baby before her life.

She did what every woman here whines about 24/7/365: made her own reproductive choices.

The part I really don’t understand is that she definitely was able to qualify for medicaid, and should have received medicaid to pay for her doctor and hospital bills. It’s odd that when she was hospitalized a social worker didn’t visit her in the hospital to help her complete an application. It’s really weird one of her family members or her HUSBAND didn’t help her get the paperwork done so she could get health insurance. She seemed like a loving, caring woman who would go out of her way to help loved ones, but when she was pregnant, they couldn’t drive her to the social services office to speak with a customer service representative and get her overwhelming need for healthcare insurance taken care of. Her husband or mom should have done that immediately.

This is a sad story and I am sorry for this woman and her baby girl. Her family sucks because she was sick, and needed someone to help her get her health insurance and nobody did. She was deathly ill working a job, where the hell was everyone who loved her then? She needed their support then. They could have financially helped her and her obviously deadbeat husband while she was pregnant and in and out of the hospital. At the very least helped her coordinate her medicaid application. It can be backdated from the day you apply. All she had to do was apply; when she got approved, Medicaid would have paid her accumulated medical bills. Her family failed her.

What did she say when her doctors suggested the best course of action when she first had difficulties in her pregnancy might be to terminate the pregnancy? [b]Oh, you can't say because her doctors weren't allowed to tell her that because she lived in Texas.  [/b]

So spare us. She also lived in a state that is hemorrhaging ob/gyns because they don't want to work in a state with such draconian laws. She also lives in country where one party doesn't want there to be universal health care and thinks it's just too bad if people are too poor to pay for health care so they do without.

You want to know where everyone who loved her when she was deathly ill working a job? They were also working jobs so they could pay their bills and support themselves. Did you not read the article where she had 2 siblings with special needs? Did you not read where she had applied for help but hadn't heard back? Did you not read where her mother tried to get her to stay home on bed rest and she said she couldn't because they needed her salary. Welcome to the USA. This is your country and this is the reality of many many many poor pregnant women. A reality that the GOP refuses to acknowledge.

It's because of people like you that we think conservatives are totally devoid of empathy and lack of understanding for the difficulties and challenges facing those on the low end of the socio-economic scale.[/quote]
