my friend is pregnant, and she doesnt have any insurance....
she has some with her mom.. but it only covers 50% of everything, but she is moving out, and isnt telling her mom about the baby until she leaves.
where can she go?... she doesnt have enough money to pay for services... where can she go that she can have free check ups, etc.... help asap please
and also delivery???
ALSO SHE IS 15....does age have any difference with her getting her own insurance? i know she is really young. i dont want to hear about her mistakes... all i need is help. thnx <3
Answer
Call 1-800-230-PLAN.
That is Planned Parenthood's hotline. They have sliding scale fees, so what your friend pays is based on how much money she makes. If she doesn't make any money it's free. They will get her checkups and everything else she needs.
If they don't have an office close enough to her, they can refer you to an independent clinic with the same kind of fees.
Once she goes to Planned Parenthood and gets medical confirmation of the pregnancy, they will tell her how to apply for WIC (a food allowance) and Medicaid. She may have to wait to qualify for Medicaid because of her mom's insurance ... is her mom dropping her from it when she moves out? If so she can go to PP for her checkups and everything, then once she is dropped from the mom's insurance, apply for Medicaid and they will pay for the delivery.
Someone will answer at the Planned Parenthood hotline anytime between 8 and 5 on a weekday. So call tomorrow.
I read what you say about her age now ... Planned Parenthood will help whether she's 15 or 50. She can't apply for Medicaid on her own at that age, though. Her guardian would have to sign forms. So maybe it would be better to tell her mom and apply for Medicaid now, instead of waiting.

Would you order delivery Chinese food in the middle of a terrible blizzard? & a Q about playing in the snow?
troubledin
...assuming the restaurant is open, of course.
I know this isn't the section for this but I'd like answers from people I would consider my peers, instead of a bunch of kids playing on the computer. I usually get the best answers in here.
It seems to me that the Chinese food restaurant I usually order my delivery from is ALWAYS open and delivering. Would you order a food delivery (from any place) knowing full well that the delivery person would be putting themself in imminent danger.
2nd question - if you did order food and the delivery person got into an accident on his way to your home, would you feel guilty or just see it as an "oh well, it was his choice to work today, I just utilized the service being provided" kind of thing?
OK, and to make this legit for this newborn and baby section; how long do you/would you allow your little one to play outside in the snow before making them come in and warm up for a while?
Answer
Sounds like you're stuck on the east coast! Whew, it looks really messy out there.
I think it depends on how bad the snow is. If there is no way that it would possibly be safe for them to be on the roads, i.e. complete whiteout conditions, roads not plowed, their delivery cars have no 4 wheel drive or snow tires (if you happened to know that somehow), I don't think I would do that. But at the same time, I don't think you could be held liable in court if they were to leave and get in an accident. Personally, I would definitely feel guilty anyway, even if the law is on my side. If I absolutely could not stand a single thing besides Chinese for dinner (say, if I were pregnant - oh wait I am :) see I found another way to relate this to the pregnancy/newborn and baby section!), I might make my husband do pick-up in our 4 wheel drive chevy truck, unless it was truly terrible and I seriously thought something bad would happen. Ugh what a horrible thought!
I would let them play outside in the snow for a very long time. With me checking up on them, and there being lots of breaks. It also depends on how old they are. If they are five or younger, I would probably want to stay with them the whole time, so it would be a lot shorter than if they were eight, and I could trust them in the backyard for a while. But I would check on them every 15 minutes, and have them come inside to warm up a little when they were too cold, or needed some hot cocoa, probably every hour- hour and a half. Snow is SO much fun for kids!!!!!
