you know what really bothers me
there are hundreds of thousands of women on medicaid in each state
many of those women are now getting knowledge on natural births, water birthes, homebirths
BUT medicaid and a lot insurance companies are saying no to some of these options
lets break down some facts here
a FULL home birth costs on average $4500
that's all costs including follow up care
A hospital BED costs $10,000, just the bed! when in the hospital
i think that if a woman has interest in a home birth why wouldnt insurance jump on that?!
that saves so many taxpayers and people money per birth in an astronomical amount and less money the state would have to pay out
i feel like if more taxpayers were aware and more women advocated for themselves there would be a change
the goal is a healthy born baby
why should it matter how i choose to do it
and the moment you choose to make your own decisions against modern medicine then you are looked at as a bad mother
i really cant stand modern medicine practices sometimes which is why I'm choosing to stay home and labor and give birth naturally

they gave me that option to have a home birth and I'm on Medicaid...made me so happy to know it's a option at any time.

You also have to remember that what the hospital charge the layman, doesn't pertain to the insurance companies. And each insurance company negotiate their own prices. So that $10,000 for the bd may translate to $2,000 for Medicaid. Where there is no contact for home births, so homes births regardless will be $4500. So the state you are in probably save money to pay for a hospital bed then a home birth. Saving money
