C-Section = Trouble Getting Insurance

More C-section news.

This time, it's a New York Times story about women who have had one having trouble getting individual health insurance.

If you've had one, it increases the odds that you'll have another and insurance companies don't want to pay for that, the story says.

The truth is, any woman with any of her pregnancies, could end up with a c-section. Just because a woman doesn't have one with her first pregnancy, in no way, is a guarantee that she won't have one later. Is that what is next ? Any woman of child-bearing age may end up uninsured? Having a baby, period...is expensive for them. I can think of at least three mother's that I know off of the top of my head that didn't have c-sections with their first child, but ended up with one for subsequent children. I feel that this is truly a battle between OBGYN's and the insurance companies (I am sure that insurance company's take the position that c-sections are preformed too quickly by many drs. just to hike up their bill), with the innocent getting caught in the middle.
