Insurance and Birth

Posted on June 17, 2011 at 2:45pm 4 Comments

How can we say women have a right to give birth the way they want if the insurance will not pay for midwife care and home birth. So home birth is left for the women that can afford it? I find this to be ridicules and this needs to changed. Every women should have the right to go to who they want for prenatal care and give birth where they want. But as long as insurance wont cover home births the same as they do OB and hospital birth's not all women have a real "choice"
