lot of angst from childless employees of companies that provide paid maternity leave and other benefits to those with children, but the childless employees are expected to work. And many companies offer IVF benefits as well under their health ins. Also doesnt mean that the employer knows why the woman is going somewhere for treatment. Ins co will know but not the employer. Could be for any reason. Not all hospitals perform all surgeries etc.
Do the couples doing IVF have to pay for their insurance or have deductibles? Probably. And being offered with insurance isn’t the same as the above and beyond company policy that says they’ll pay for travel and abortion expenses for their employees or their families.
I wonder how many people are going to claim they need an abortion for a free trip to California.
Look at it this way...if an employee doesn't want to have baby, they company knows they will be more committed...if they have kids, they will tend to miss more time and not put their job first.
My company takes advantage of me partly because they know I have no kids so therefore I never have to leave early to catch a little league game or take a kid to the doctors or go meet the school principal for a disciplinary reason. I'm more reliable because I don't worry about kids.
Everyone is focusing on the companies but not one peep about the calls from politicians to set aside abortion centers on federal lands? I know it won’t happen but it’s absolute bonkers to even suggest it.
How can politicians suggest that non-tribal people should be housed on tribal lands? No politicians have suggested that homeless people should be sheltered at your house, either. Do you find that offensive?
They weren’t saying it should be on tribal lands. Someone on City-Data said that. The politicians want to either create federal lands in red states to house abortion centers or put them in parks I guess. I find it offensive to advance federally taxpayer funded land for abortions.

It is not unusual for HC insurance to assist with travel expenses if the required specialists or procedures are not locally available.
Imagine politicians saying the government should fund federal lands as abortion sites and never once offering that for homeless people including veterans who fought wars for this country.
Imagine companies paying employees thousands of dollars and travel expenses to kill babies and offering nothing for employees who want to have babies. That’s where we are today.
It’s ghoulish.
Most medium and large companies provide health insurance to their workers and spouses. Maternity care is covered. Some give parental leave for a new baby or adoption.
Do you work for a company that doesn't give these benefits?

I know but the way they make it sound like this would not be insurance. I don’t care what private companies do but I have an issue with the idea of abortion sanctuaries that we would have to pay for.

Just stop. I know companies offer insurance and some offer paid maternity leave.
I did look it up and they are talking about additional coverage or letting people pay using their Health Savings Accounts. As I said, I don’t care what private companies do.

Oh the irony in this question. The United States Federal Government actually set up abortion clinics on the reservations, and the main purpose was to actually cause a genocide. When a woman would come in to get an abortion, they would also unknowingly become sterilized.
Native Americans are still ticked when they realized what the government was doing, so I can't imagine them being okay with this stuff to come again.
Not unless the "white people" are tribal members. Under federal law - which is what applies here, not state laws - the Indian Health Service is only required to provide federal health care services to federally recognized tribes. Individual eligibility for services is determined by a number of criteria, including, but not limited to, the requirement that the individual is of Native American descent, is regarded as a tribal member, has some legal evidence of tribal enrollment or certificate of origin, and resides on or near a federal reservation.
It does not have to be part of the Indian Health Service. They could decide to build a facility, owned by the tribe, to provide abortion services. All profits would go to the tribe.
