    " But to the couple’s shock, they said, Sedera told them they were ineligible, citing a policy near the end of the group’s member guidelines: Within the first year of membership, medical bills for childbirth “are not shareable.”

    “We basically gave Sedera our money and received nothing in return,” Kaplan said. “The rug was pulled out from underneath us.”"

    I mean … yeah, this is a shitty practice, and being completely unregulated (not that actual insurance companies are regulated to the point of choosing patient health and life over profit) needs to be exposed, so others don’t fall into this, but if you’re signing up for “health insurance” of any kind, and plan to get pregnant with your spouse/partner, you’re gonna have to check whether or not you’re covered, so I’m not buying they didn’t know going in, and that this was a complete surprise, lol. They’re claiming they didn’t know because it makes a good story, and they want to get paid back (or compensated through sympathetic donations from those that read this story)
