Health Insurance with maternity coverage in Texas with pre-existing conditions

[ATX Wahine]

Let's just go a step further and say no to care for cancer and pediatric disorder patients while we're at it! Yea! Why should I have to pay for some stranger's chemo? Not my fault your wife needs a mastectomy!

If you plan on having a child you should be married and the man can add his wife as a dependent on his insurance to cover maternity. If you are female and unmarried with household income under 100k you dont get pregnant. If you cant handle that than you should remain a virgin until a man chooses you. Other countries are able to have universal coverage and inexpensive maternity and neo natal care while providing ridiculous things like maternity and paternity leave because of stuff we dont know about but clearly dont want. Families are not important but are very very important. How difficult is that to understand

Is this post a joke?

Pretty sure cancer isn't an elective condition. Pregnancy is.

There are an awful lot of personal choices that result in medical conditions. Rather slippery slope to begin parsing through a list of what should be covered. I don't smoke. Should my premiums go toward lung cancer treatment for those who did? I work hard to keep fit and have no history of heart disease. Should I be exempt from paying for those who need angioplasty due to too many Big Macs? See how that works?

I don't think it's a good idea to limit coverage. Soon enough, most everyone may need a treatment or procedure that they may have never anticipated ... including pregnancy. That's the point of paying for medical insurance. We all pay in and then take out when needed. I'm pleased that our new healthcare laws provide broad coverage for all and we don't even need to have this conversation any longer.

There's some serious trolling bull$h!t that goes on in these forums, but this post might take the cake.
