Guaranteed Healthcare

My college educated daughter has worked for several small businesses who either did not provide an option for health insurance or offered very limited insurance benefits. At her last job, when she became pregnant and was going to use the insurance for the first time, she was told she was no longer needed at the job. She was unable to find a job while pregnant; it may not be lawful to not hire pregnant women but it happens in reality. Her husband had access to benefits that would take half his paycheck, so they had to opt for rent instead of insurance. Medicaid was her only option. It is obscene in this country that this can happen. The year before this happened to her, she tried to purchase insurance on her own, but since she had recently broken her ankle, she was denied coverage. Our economy would be in better shape if insurance was not such an issue. People could be entrepreneurs without fear and employers could pay a decent wage. I worry about the ability of all of my children to safeguard their health.
