One of the best things I read recently was how a woman in Texas drove on the HOV lane arguing that because she was 2 months pregnant it was more than one person in the car by how Texas law defines a fetus as a person.
And further how this will have implications on health insurance companies because suddenly a pregnant woman is not one person but two people and so what can insurance cover and what it cannot . It’s both fascinating and a disaster. .
- ars 4y agoFor health insurance benefits a pregnant woman already counts as two people, so it changes nothing at all. There's no disaster here, just a funny story.
- corrral 4y agoI'm... pretty sure that's not true. For one thing, I can't ever recall having to enroll a child with insurance or having them on any of our insurance cards before they were born. They are, in a sense, covered, but not in the same sense they are after they're born.
