[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Woman was sick and dying 
She did not have the ability, money, or time to care for herself
Her only option becomes abortion, or death.
The baby’s death was a foregone conclusion in this scenario.
The mother’s death was preventable with an abortion.
Harping on the medical care she should have had isn’t helpful to the woman, once she needs the abortion. 
Did her doctors make the likely outcomes clear to her? Doubtful due to the laws in Texas. 
Sure she wanted her baby. But there is a point when that pregnancy wasn’t going to result in a healthy baby. Was she made aware of the facts? Was she able to make an informed decision? 
Doubtful [/quote]

She had a loser husband who didn’t do a single thing to help her get the medical insurance she qualified for.

She could have been treated by a high risk ob-gyn 51 miles and had her medications paid for and been in compliance with the treatment she needed. She improved and went downhill again because she was non-compliant with her medication.

Why wasn’t her husband helping her?[/quote]

I think it is a stretch to conclude he was a loser based on the very little info we have about him. As I posted above, we seem to have about 3 data points from this story and that’s IT. No real conclusions can be drawn from those.[/quote]

He was a loser. No mention if him helping his wife. He didn’t help her get insurance, he would have been the only person who could have enrolled her in Tricare. He HAD to coordinate that process. She was working while sick to pay for her medication.

Why was he not involved in the saga except to leave town with her car after she died? [/quote]

Why are you so obsessed with that car?

This man suffered the loss of his wife and their baby. You are just an awful judgmental human being devoid of empathy.[/quote]

His wife and baby died and the article doesn’t mention once he even attempted to get his wife on Tricare to provide her medical insurance. That fact is completely ignored. Don’t you think the husband of a pregnant woman experiencing pregnancy problems that led to her death from lack of care and needed medication should have tried to help her? She couldn’t submit paperwork to add herself to DEERS to be enrolled in Tricare; that was his job to do.

If you were pregnant and had multiple health issues, and needed medical insurance, and your husband didn’t put you on his health insurance plan, what would you think of him? [/quote]

The husband did not want to talk to the reporter. So you have no idea what actually went on. Shame on you. [/quote]

+1 this is what I keep trying to say. We don’t know much at all about him. He didn’t talk to the reporter.[/quote]

We know he was an Army Reserve Soldier. We know he was eligible for Tricare Reserve Select. We know his wife was eligible for Tricare Reserve Select as his dependent. We know foreign born spouses are eligible to be added to DEERS and thus receive Tricare health insurance. We know JAG attorneys will assist-for free- a soldier who needed to navigate the system to add his foreign born spouse to DEERS/Tricare. We know that much. [/quote]

We do? You've seen the paperwork he received? You were with him when these things were shared with him?[/quote]

No, that’s just how it works for everyone in the military. They have a standard process to enroll dependents in DEERS and Tricare. It’s the same for everyone. She could even have been enrolled in DEERS without a social security card. DEERS will take documents from other countries-including Mexico. [/quote]

Was he on active duty for more than 30 consecutive days? Because if not he was not eligible.

[quote]Reservists (i.e., members of the Reserves Components, including the National Guard) on federal active duty orders for more than 30 consecutive days receive identical health benefits as active duty servicemembers.[/quote][/quote]

He was eligible for Tricare Reserve Select. If he had been on active duty for more than 30 days he could qualify for Tricare Prime, that’s the Active Duty healthcare plan.

He (and she) was eligible for Tricare Reserve Select, otherwise.

It makes zero sense she was without medical insurance.

The town they lived in was close to San Antonio. That is a huge military town. Plenty of resources available to help with the paperwork to get her enrolled. If she didn’t have the exact paperwork needed, the Military would have given her temporary insurance cards for coverage for a certain period of time while the paperwork was found and translated.

Also if a Service Member or spouse isn’t enrolled in Tricare, they can go to an ER on any Military installation and see a doctor for a actual emergency. They will see you for any actual emergency no matter what.[/quote]
