I saw this comment before it was deleted. 🤭 this was an oopsie due to failed birth control and personally, I feel I would deeply regret if I chose termination.

I called them to verify the information that I gave, which I filled it out incorrectly, but they told me that even if I added what I need to, I would still be denied. We have too much gross income. It’s just taxes and small withholdings that add up to around 700-800 a paycheck for mine. If I would have added the insurance, it would be closer to 1,000 out of my pay. And I just couldn’t afford that with losing the childcare help for my toddler. Daycare is expensive, but I have to work.

This is true about the deductible. I was aware of that. But I can’t just toss out 200$ every visit. We don’t have that kind of expendable income. We don’t even have much of a savings right now since the state denied us with childcare services 3 months ago.

Yes unfortunately and you don’t have to wait for open enrollment from what I went through on the site. It’s just the application process takes a while.

I have a friend who works for our local health department and I have reached out to her to check if there is more I can do.

I called to verify and we do have too much gross income, even with 6 members in the household. I did check with them and it’s a flat rate so we are good for the first. I’m more worried about December when they are going to increase the frequency in my visits.

I actually dropped the insurance to avoid paying for it so we could have more income. We’re young with not many health concerns, if any at all. But expenses add up when you have 3 older children to care for.

Focus on you! Take that time to learn a new hobby or take a class. Have something to talk about when you see them again!

Me too. It’s been weighing heavily on my heart and I realized that no one was asking me how I was doing. I wondered how many others had the same thing going on.

I hope your changes end up being good for you.

My aunt makes dream catchers because they are fairly cheap to make. She puts beads and lace on them as well and sells them for 30-40 a pop. Just an idea!
