Reply #81: Miscarriages without benefit of medical care

[Nobody]

I agree with you that if you know you just had a miscarriage you should go to the hospital post haste.

There are probably a lot of things occurring without benefit of medical care, especially nowadays when there are so many people without jobs that grant health care benefits. Even if they work, they might be working multiple part time jobs or temp positions. The majority of the so-called new jobs are mostly temp jobs. No health care benefits for temps.

It's so much more cost effective to cover people so they CAN go see the doctor and prevent problems instead of them waiting until they can't function at all and cost taxpayers a ton of emergency room fees.

And then there are these idiotic punitive laws proposed to criminalize women who probably don't know that they should see a doctor at once or can't afford to rack up the doctor bills. They may not even know that they can get treated at the emergency room regardless of income.

This is a symptom of a larger problem. We're supposedly the most advanced, richest nation in the world and yet we refuse to share our bounty even among ourselves. Bleh!
