Thousands told NO INSURANCE UNLESS YOU GET STERILISED

In testimony that Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski called bone-chilling, Colorado mom Peggy Robertson recently shared with a Senate committee the unbelievable story of how a major health insurance carrier refused to insure her and what they suggested she do to make herself eligible for coverage.

In 2007, Robertson was denied coverage by Golden Rule Insurance, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group. In a letter explaining the denial, the company claimed that Robertsons previous C-section made her a financial risk for the company. If she had another C-section within the first three years of coverage, the company would not profit from her policy. It was a risk they werent willing to take and because the Colorado Insurance Division would not allow them to exclude C-section benefits for the first three years, they denied her coverage altogether.

Robertsons story may sound all too familiar, but unfortunately it doesnt end there. In that same letter, Golden Rule went on to suggest what Robertson might do to make herself eligible for coverage: Get sterlized.

That an insurance company would dare to even hint that a healthy woman should be medically sterilized so they can make a profit is, in the words of Senator Mikulski, morally repugnant. But lets face it, women already get the short end of the stick when it comes to health care coverage. Possessing a womb makes us a liability in the eyes of insurers and more than half of them dont even offer maternity coverage. Those who do will often raise the premiums of women who have had C-sections or, as in Robertsons case, refuse to cover them at all.

Of course, women arent the only ones getting a raw deal from profit-driven health insurance companies. Americans are suffering all over under our current system of health care. But when the largest insurance company in the United States feels like they have a right to plan your family to benefit their bottom line, we have a serious problem.

@markscott7777777 Thats the whole issue here... she can't just "push the 3rd one out naturally"- because "once a C-Section, ALWAYS a C-Section. And the insurance refuses to PAY for that 3rd unnecessary overpopulation contributor! My advice is to GET YOUR TUBES TIED ALREADY- you already HAVE enough kids!

[recyclecongress]

@tommybarresi Its neither a 'women's issue OR a 'people issue' - it's a 'CONTRIBUTING TO OVERPOPULATION" ISSUE. And she said she ALREADY has two kids! And THAT should be enough for ANYBODY.

NB Dont Take The Swine Flu Shot !

And sterilization does seem a bit of an excessive form of birth control !

NB Dont Take The Swine Flu Shot !

Donate it to your political representative !

" He " says its safe and is a good idea !

[markscott7777777]

I guess this woman will have to push the baby out the old fashioned way !

it is a bit painful, so i am told !

but has a very good success rate, its been tried and tested for at least 5000 years and usually has no complaints !

and requires no insurance !

I wonder when Holy Mary was visited by the Angel Gabriel !

Did she ask " is this covered by my HMO and can i get a C-section "

Because Joe and I have not got it on yet, and he says he is not interested if my flaps go all floppy !
