[quote=Anonymous]Luling is 51 minutes away from Austin, the state capitol. There are good hospitals in Austin. With her Tricare health insurance, she could have obtained specialized pregnancy care just 51 miles away, from a good liberal doctor in a good liberal city.

This woman didn’t need a therapeutic abortion to treat a high risk, wanted, pregnancy. She needed to be enrolled in Tricare then given appropriate treatment from her ob-gyn in Austin, who could have managed her pregnancy so that both she and her baby could have lived, and had the happy lives they deserved.

But instead, she and her baby died and her husband left town with her car. And people here are just sure she should have aborted her baby because Texas is a draconian sanctuary for evil republicans who enjoy death and suffering.

Dependents of Military personnel who are enrolled in Tricare can also be eligible for Medicaid. Tricare will pay first, and Medicaid will be responsible for whatever amount Tricare does not cover. This dead woman, on the surface, was possibly eligible for both Tricare and Medicaid. Why she had neither is really unexplained and a tragedy for her, her daughter, and her family.

She didn’t need an abortion and didn’t need to die. She suffered greatly before her death and had the correct paperwork been submitted, she would not have had to work while dying to cover the costs of her care, hospitalizations, and medication. I don’t think her death is a good illustration of reasons why women in Texas are suffering from lack of access to abortion. [/quote]
