    Wow I'm sure glad that the for-profit healthcare here means we get the highest quality healthcare in the world :-) That's why we pay exorbitant prices for it :-)

    Not surprised, when most places find out you're pregnant they either try to fire you or reduce your hours so that you're all but fired on paper. If you're stressed and lose the good medical access a job provides (will probably have a baby in arm by the time you get approved for medicaid or similar such programs, then good luck seeing medical professionals in time) its not a good outcome.
