NEW: The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it.

... that's some serious bullshit right there
The company is not qualified
Read the article.
You know the score here. You know where you're living.
That will be untenable for any political party in this country.

The largest govt & military insurer!
Universal healthcare would end healthcare insurance for good. It’s an unnecessary industry comprising untrained middlemen who collect $ for overriding doctors. It’s driven by greed w/no positive influence on healthcare, no compassion. It doesn’t need to exist.
I think their brains have impenetrable shells on them.
😵💫
Poor Nakagawa hemorrhaged for 4 + hours before doctors performed surgery that Tricare had refused to authorize!!
Later, Tricare admitted they should've treated her?? WTF
Then the @GOP decided that they needed more money for corporate bail-outs, free healthcare & retirement programs for politicians, etc. because they deserve it SO MUCH MORE than our military heroes…GRRRRRRR!

THEN deal with the bills!
Then f*ck the bills! At least you saved a woman’s life! Is that not reason enough?!!!
After all, what are you going to do? Put me on death row? Ahahahaha...
WE ARE WATCHING
WE ARE LISTENING
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY
WE ARE TAKING ACTION!
KNOW WE REWARD TRANSPARENCY & CONTRIBUTION WE WONT CONSUME FROM CORPORATIONS THAT ARE DECEITFUL & EXPLOITIVE. WHO USE PROFIT FROM US TO TO ALLIGN W A CONVICTED RAPIST/CRIMINAL
They act like it doesn't happen when they are the worse.
It’s all on the GOP
Federal , State, and Local
All of it is!!

ACA forced them to get creative about their excuses, but before that, they used a blanket one: pre-existing conditions.
This anti-women's health care, anti-vax, and anti-trans care shit is very much a modern movement.

In fact although the military doesn’t pay for the procedure itself, they will pay for travel to a state without a ban for women who want a therapeutic abortion, if necessary.
If you are in the military and are stationed in a state with the severe abortion bans, the military will not pay for travel and the military insurance won’t pay the procedure.
That remaining tissue could cause infection and kill her
She will have to pay for it herself
or wait for the infection to require a medical emergency
The review board at insurance company of ten have no medical people sitting on those committees They usually have a list to go down and check to see what is aloud and what isn't
Mine will pay for dental implants
But not the bone work needed
First the author does not appear to know that removal of fetal/placental tissue from the uterus after fetal death is not abortion. Abortion refers to ending an ongoing pregnancy.
Together ALL AMERICANS are strong ! When we fight we win. It is in the favour of “EVERYONE” IN THE COUNTRY ; EVERYONE, no matter the color of their skin. More people step up-More resisting!

In both countries where it is private and wher it is state run, they call it an industry.

Kind of short-sighted of them.
The right-wing take has been that if a woman *wanted the pregnancy & lost it (& needed a D&C), it's not an abortion.
It’s control, power, and misogyny.
For every delay & loss of life CEOs should lose a million of pay.
