[quote=Anonymous]The poersonal health insurance of a surrogate should absolutely NOT be allowed to cover a surrogacy pregnancy. A surrogate should not be able to use her own insurance to protect the surrogate.

The article says, " if Smith had to be hospitalized or miss work, she’d receive payments for lost wages and childcare. Also, Smith’s employer-provided insurance would treat the pregnancy as if it were her own baby—a major boon."

This is ridiculous that the employer's insurance has to pay. That can affect everyone in a smaller company because it then drives up the rates for other employees. Ordinarily you can't use personal insurance for job related injuries and surrogacy is paid employment.

The surrogate was hospitalized starting January 1st. She got the speeding ticket January 13th. The baby was found not to have a heartbeat on January 21st.

Surrogates are not prisoners. She went suddenly to the ER on January 1st. It isn't unreasonable that she go home one day for a few hours to deal with her life.

The first surrogate kept bleeding after the stillbirth and couldn't work for another month.

It isn't right that the surrogate doesn't know the medical history of the baby she is carrying since  the article says, "As Bi pointed out repeatedly in her quest to get Leon’s placental slides, the placenta comes from the DNA of the biological parents—hers and Valdeiglesias’. In fact, Bi’s mother and sister developed diabetes while pregnant, an issue stemming from the placenta, and remained diabetic. Valdeiglesias told me that his aunt had her water break early, but everything was fine.

But Bi and Valdeiglesias’s family medical histories were not disclosed to their surrogates."

The second surrogate they used needed a hysterectomy. [/quote]
