C-Sections May Raise Insurance Rates
A healthy woman applied for family health insurance and was rejected because she had two c-sections. The insurance company says that woman who have had this surgery will most likely have it again and they do not want to cover it.
Different states have different policies on this matter, as do the insurance companies. The really bad thing about it is that this woman now has a rejection on her record which can negatively affect future insurance applications.
Of course the insurance companies don’t want to pay for this but they are saying that most of these surgeries are not necessary and are done for convenience .
I myself have had two and believe me, they were anything but convenient. With over 31% of children born this way this could become a big problem for women and their families.
