Do you have personal experience, or a link to an article, about high risk childbirth not getting covered? I have never heard of this. Seems it would be against EMTALA and could be ripe ground for a lawsuit.

It’s been a long time since babies came out of my body, and as I remember childbirth was not covered AT ALL c section or otherwise - this was pre ACA.

Wow. That's terrible. I do think things have changed now, definitely with the ACA but in this case perhaps even before, at least with some insurance companies. I do remember when one had to purchase more expensive insurance to have such things covered, but as far as I know that is a thing of the past with the ACA.
