Iam pregnant and group health insurance is ending this year?

My work decided to discontinue our group Health Insurance Plan and are switching to Individual Health Insurance. The insurance i signed up for does not cover maternity. Iam about a month along and live in wisconsin if that helps any. Just wondering what options are out there for insurance. With my boyfriend and i, i dont think we would exceed guidelines for badgercare from what i understood on their website.

So You Think I Drive a Cadillac? Welfare Recipients’ Perspectives on the System and Its Reform $76 This down-to-earth look at the welfare system provides readers with stories from welfare recipients themselves and from those who recently left welfare for work: how they got onto welfare, what the reality of welfare (and welfare reform) is for them, issues in raising their families, their plans, hopes, and dreams are for the future, and some of the struggles they face as they try to leave the welfare system. Welfare recipients who were interviewed by the author in Florida and Oregon share their perspectives on work requirements, family caps, time limits, and other features of the new welfare reform (TANF) program. They discuss the importance of a livable wage and health insurance in providing the needed security to leave welfare for good. These qualitative interviews are theoretically grounded, and supplemented with up-to-date statewide and national data on welfare reform and its consequences.The author says, “Underneath the political rhetoric and welfare statistics are real live human beings who are trying to make sense out of their lives.” Their voices provide a crucial counterpoint to the politicians and policy “experts” who have shaped the policy reform initiative. They show us that the so-called welfare problem is related to the insecurity of low-tier work in the United States.

(Not) Keeping up with Our Parents: The Decline of the Professional Middle Class $16 Already garnering coverage in U.S. News and World Report, the Washington Post, Newsweek, Salon, and Utne Reader, and heard on NPR and PBS, Nan Mooney draws on more than a hundred interviews with diverse families across America and shows how profoundly middle class realities have shifted. Consider, for example, why 90 percent of those filing for bankruptcy are middle class: The share of family income devoted to “fixed costs”—housing, child care, health insurance, and taxes—has climbed from 53 percent to 75 percent in the past two decades. College tuition has increased 35 percent in the past five years while credit card debt has risen 31 percent. Despite this sobering reality, Mooney offers concrete ideas on how we can stop this downward spiral.
